Day 74 – Kuala Lumpur

December 27, 2025

We went to Kuala Lumpur; that’s about enough said about that!!

Our plans for Malaysia were to spend a few days in KL before heading up to George Town (Penang) for the New Year. However, when we got to KL and our accommodation was awful and KL felt really sketchy. We’ve done a lot of travel, and a lot before we came on this trip, but this just didn’t feel good. We had similar experiences in Beijing, Day 7 – OMG Beijing Arrival, but this one just made us feel like getting the hell out of there.

So we did!!

After 24 hours we got on a plane and headed back to Thailand which has been our go to through this trip. By the end of the trip we will have been to four different spots in Thailand; and one in Malaysia.

Will we ever go back to Malaysia, who knows!! We’ve seen the Petronas Towers, so at least we earned a badge.

Arani Thai, Geelong

Dinner on our first night in Geelong, and this isn’t a bad Thai. In fact, it’s one of the better ones. What makes it better? Fresh herbs and spices; fresh curry leaves and peppercorns are easy to miss. I was asked how spicy I would like it, ‘Thai spicy’, yes absolutely, and it was certainly...

Day 3 – Tian Tan Buddha

After the news we received yesterday we thought today would be a good day to visit a buddha, and the largest buddha in Hong Kong. It is quite a journey to get there, via train and cable car and then nearly 300 steps up to the buddha itself. We were quite amazed at how busy...

Day 19 – Shanghai Tower, 118th Floor

So tonight we went across the river, the the opposite side to The Bund, to go up the tallest tower in Shanghai. The lift is apparently very fast, although you wouldn’t know that other than the lift info sign, and your ears that feel like you’ve just taken off in an aeroplane. We bought our...

Day 4 – Macau, or maybe not

Today we set off to visit Macau, which can be reached in a variety of different ways but because we didn’t want to spend $640AUD on a helicopter to get there we decided to take the ferry which is the next best option. You can also take the bus to Macau along the fairly new...
