Leaving Singapore

A big Aloha to you! from Singapore. I arrived here this morning on the nighttrain from Kuala Lumpur and am now in my familiar hostel - Inncrowd, very nice - to upload some pictures and have a shower. Tonight I will be flying back home, it will be a bit strange to be back in the Netherlands again. Hope the weather is any good.

Yesterday I said goodbye to Anna in Kuala Lumpur and then left for Singapore. We had a really cool time travelling through Malaysia. From Kota Bahru we left for the Perentian Island. It was a pleasant drive along the coast for about an hour and a half and then a 40 min boat ride to the island. The island itself was really really nice. We had a small hut near the beach, inhabited by a lizard, a frog, a spider, some mosquitos and us. The first day we spend on the beach, the second we went snorkeling. The snorkling was awesome. The reef was inhabited by many colourful fish, turtles and some sharks. We had a small boat with 5 other tourists to shuttle us around and we stopped at 5 locations for some swimming and the weather was so good.

After that, sadly, it was time to be heading home. We took a plane back to KL (30 euros - 1 hour) instead of the train (4 euros - 12 hours), which was pleasant. In KL we did some shopping and a lot of eating and that was about it. Now its time to go home

I will leave tonight on QF009 to London where I will have 5 hours and 15 of spare time. After that I will be arriving at Amsterdam Airport at 12.55 on BD105. Hope to see you soon...

Oh, photos on Flickr.
