Real quick note here, folks. The internet here is crawling, and I have sleep to catch...
I am in Malaysia right now, in the small town of Kuala Besut. This place is more or less a port for the Perenthian Islands, where I am headed in the morning. Currently, it is 10:30pm, and here in Malaysia we are now 13 hrs ahead of Iowa time, instead of 12.
It's been a long 24+ hrs.....
*I left on a night ferry off the island of Koh Tao last night around 9pm
*Arrived on the mainland around 5am this morning
*Hopped a bus around 6:30am
*Switched to another bus around 2pm
*Arrived at the Malaysia border around 4pm
*Crossed the border (literally walked across the border after our bus left us a good quarter mile from Malaysia...strange) with two girls who were en route to Malaysia as well
*Made it through customs and split a taxi with the girls (2hrs) from the border to where we sleep tonight
It's been about 24 hours of commuting, and I am spent. Tomorrow, we head to the Perhentian Islands, about 20 km off the coast of Malaysia. White sands and postcard sunsets await, so I better go rest up! Internet may not be available on the island, so stayed tuned for a few days, and I'll work to get some pictures up when I'm back on land....
