Today was a good travel day but it ended with a 'different' type of hotel room to those we have grown accustomed to on our travels.
Firstly we has to get across the mighty Temberling river at Kuala Tehan at half seven to catch the coach to Jerantut at eight.
The day remained cloudy throughout, interspersed with almighty downpours.
We got to Kuala Besut at around 4pm and the driver offered to take us directly to our hotel in Kota Bharu 24 miles away for (eventually) 40 MR which is £8, so we agreed and we were at our hotel by 5:30 thanks to the rush hour. Kota Bharu means New Castle and coincidentally lies in the North East of Peninsular Malaysia. One of their unique local delicacies is known as Murtabak (flat bread filled with anything from meat to bananas) which strangely enough sounds exactly like a Geordie saying Motorbike.
The Kota Bharan 'Tyne' is the Kelantan but there was no fog on it today.
Anyhow, tonight is our last night in Malaysia. Tomorrow morning we head for the border and a train journey to Phattalung before making our way to the Andaman Sea and the tiny port town of Haad Yao.
Wish us luck. Tomorrow we need lots of it.
Um, bedroom a little different to your previous, but it will make the ones stil to come even more amazing. Interesting pink and blue towels... Are they modelled on you both? :-). Enjoy the adventure tomorrow and hope all your connections work out OK. Wx
