As John wrote in his last blog post, after the Cameron Highlands, we headed to the beach to spend a few days on a little Malaysian island called Pulau Pangkor. It was quiet and totally untouristy, and it gave us the chance to plan out itineraries for our next destinations–Bali, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos.
On Pulau Pangkor, we stayed at a little place called the Nipah Guesthouse, in a bright blue A-frame cottage with a sloping bed that meant we spent our nights there rolling into each other (very romantic!). We also swam on a pretty, almost empty beach called Coral Bay and ate some great fresh seafood that we picked out ourselves.
After four days there, it was back to the big city for a night in Kuala Lumpur before heading on to Bali.
