Land of teas

Malaysia is wonderful. We ended up staying at Perhentian Kecil for almost a week. Most of the time was spent on the beach reading books under colorful umbrellas, but we also had fun playing beach volley with the guesthouse crowd, some island exploring, underwater headstands and body surfing. On wednesday Malin and I went on a snorkelling tour around the island, and got to see giant turtles, big sharks (1.5 m) and parrot fish. The parrot fish was the most scariest as it would swim straight against us moving it's jaws up and down as if it was gonna eat us.
On thursday we left the island to go to Cameron Highlands. Maria stayed behind but we're hoping she'll meet up with us later.
I think Cameron Highlands might be my favorite place on this trip so far. Not only was it good to see real mountains again and breath in some cooler air, the mountains were all covered with either jungle, strawberry farms or tea plantations. You might have thought England is the tea's national state, but in my opinion England is no longer even high on the list. Malaysia, on the other hand, is on the top. We stayed at a place called Father's Guesthouse in Tanah Rata (highly recommended), and thank's to their awesome tours (and funny tour guides), we managed to, all in one day, visit a tea plantation, a tea factory, have some local tea and scones, climb(in Malay; drive up) the highest mountain in the region, do a jungle walk, learn how to survive in the jungle, and visit a tribe village.

Right now we're in Kuala Lumpur, realaxing and being real tourists. We're flying to HCMC, Vietnam on the 7th, our plan is to go north to Hanoi and then cross in to Laos. It's not a very detailed plan yet, so if anyone has any suggestions on interesting things to do, let us know.
