ROME - KUALA LUMPUR
17 / 02 / 2006 FRIDAY ' The journey has begun .... Still does not seem true , for now prevails in me the fear of flight , the plane , but the desire to give my eyes to new things to see me win any fear ... The trip by the Airline Malesya is a pleasure , you are pampered from the beginning of the journey until the end .. ( package of peanuts , fruit juices , wine , beer , refreshing towel , lunch , ice cream , coca cola , tea , coffee , breakfast , etc ...) The important thing for me is this land and the pilot does so as if we were on a feather . Reflecting thus far in our short or long flights , we were lucky , we never got the time , big empty air etc . .. to put it short we have never danced in the air . So better !!!!! We left at 12 to Friday 17 .... And we get ( counting the time zone of plus seven hours ) at seven on Saturday morning .
KUALA LUMPUR - SANDAKAN (BORNEO)
18 / 02 / 2006 SATURDAY Passport control and collection bags all ok . Now we just have to deceive the time until the next flight at 14 : 20 the company with low cost Asian AIR ASIA ( www . airasia . com ) type Rayan air ... 60 euros a head the flight from KL to < strong > Sandakan strong > ( but reserving much before you spend much less ... While waiting to let us eat and reading .... The second flight was ok , also arriving baggage to complete .. The little man of us outside the airport and takes us to the hotel booked via internet : < strong > SEPILOK strong > JUNGLE RESORT (€ 16 per couple ) Advertised as : < strong > SEPILOK strong > Jungle Resort , 089 . 533031 phone , to sleep just a stone ' s throw from the orang utan , among the night sounds of the Hornbill or gibbon . www . borneo - online . com . my / sjungleresort We arrive and we understand now that is not 100 % as dreamed , the entrance where we left the taxi is full of mud because the rain and almost dirty backpacks ( 30 kg in two ). Everyone is very friendly , the Chinese recepition tipa us up for the viottolini concrete .... E ' night is raining , it ' s dark .. The camera seems as clean enough , nothing more , the bathroom very small and shabby , but for 16 euros in two what we wanted ? Even though we are tired now dead leaves our spirit of adaptation : all ok , the sheets are clean , better not to check too , there is the light , air conditioning and water calda . E ' all ok .! A nice way to shower and eat in the hotel restaurant . I look at the menu but I get all very Chinese , I do not understand anything , go for a vegetable soup and French fries ... vegetable soup ( horrible !!!!) The important thing is to go to bed even though we are certain that the time zone we certainly reach in these two days we slept or tried to sleep in any place and now that we have a bed if they speak not just to be able to sleep . Also try and after reading a while ', there appisoliamo . After about two hours of sleep myself , DANY , are awakened by someone or something that scratch , dig , the exact term I do not know , but one thing is certain : the room we are no longer in two .. but how many ? And What is most important about us ? Figured if the light is close to the bed , is no closer to the door , sleeps the great Diego , useless to count on his help at this time do not even know who is on the other side of the world ... I turn the light and moving in front of the bed where I was in the backpack diego and we realized later , there was also a bag of sweets and chocolates for you poor children or to my crisis of sugar ... I participated in the speed Light a RATTO , TOPO give the name you want but I guarantee you that was great ... in a flash by mobile salt sull ' armadio and hides behind a cover in the ceiling , made of wood . Do not scream but awake Diego with a spanking him and after several minutes of where we are , as I am and why I stress realizes .... Trust my word : a giant rat ... by now we joke above , but also the other night : no ! Sure it was bigger than my foot bore at least a forty .. From that moment my life has changed , you better not sleep or you sleep more , but the light is on , coma infants who are afraid of the dark , well , I am a mouse and that mouse ! Diego offers to watch over me and it all ends the book , in the meantime I hit snooze , in the end he collapses . I sleep with and makes an eye open . PS : the bag of sweets was immediately removed from the room and was never found outside the door . It has rained all night .
VISIT AT SEPILOK
19 / 02 / 2006 SUNDAY So no one sleeps more but we attacked a desire to see the world .. We start to explore the gardens and its .. Mobile phones do not and I have the wonderful idea to call home , my father liked to be less because I woke up in the night : when you want to call have been his final words ... I have decided to make me change room .. and we say to the woman recepition we had a visit from a giant mouse , but you will not beat the edge , as if we had said : I have an ant in the room ... I repeat : volevi nature ? Volevi the jungle ? What you thought to find ? Hotel ( mouse not included ) has a nice arrangement , great in the green and full of lakes with a wooden walkway that connects the two buildings .. If you just want to type is right for you ! We do breakfast and again to rain , a deluge .... You are in the rainy season or in the rainforest , the equator is thought to find ? WATER !!!!! Let ' s go to < strong > Sandakan strong > ( taxi rm 30 ) looking for friends of friends , rather they are now once found brothers and sisters to us ... We are a po ' insieme and a couple moved from Germany brings us to his house to explain the various excursions and tours . ( I think working as a collaborator with various agencies of the area here is their e - mail : mikonschwab @ yahoo . de We advise on the tour Kinabatan ( one of the reasons why we chose to come in Borneo ), but rain for three weeks ( though we explain that it is unusual because February is typically sunny one month ) and the banks of the river are strays , is not quite as much travel ... A grudgingly accept the advice and change goal ... We choose for the afternoon after going to see the monkeys Nasice on mangrove .. We are undecided whether to go to Danum VALLEY or < strong > TABIN strong > both national parks and real jungle .. Lunch with Constanze and Micha ... We bring in the center of < strong > Sandakan strong > in a restaurant ( a big word ..) cinese . Per Fortunately the rain stopped . Eat with linguine noodles and fresh fish ... even here we choose at random from the menu , everything passably . We offer lunch , we spent 27 . 7 rm in five people ( not even 6 euros in all !) Pochissimo . We salute after the usual exchange of addresses and e - mail . Return by taxi ( 20rm just over 4 euros ). It ' s 14 : 20 , to 15 : 00 to give orange to eat in the forest , sbrighiamoci ! the < strong > SEPILOK strong > Rehabilitation Center . The park was created to accommodate temporarily orphaned or injured orang - utans and rehabilitate them to give them the opportunity to be self - sufficient again in the jungle . Twice a day at fixed deposit of the park of food and there are good chances of seeing many orang - utans and macaques come forward : that attention go to < strong > SEPILOK strong > outside of meals , you will almost certainly make a trip for nothing . Less evil from which there are five minutes walk ... we pay 30 rm (€ 6 . 64 ) a head over 10 (€ 2 . 21 ) for each camera or camera rm total 80 (€ 17 . 72 ). We follow a walkway that leads us into the jungle ... we arrive on a balcony full of people and above them there are the orange who move from one rope to another until you get to the platform with food ... They are fantastic , but weigh a lot are moving with incredible un ' agilit & 224 ; .. Unfortunate that we are all taken by a mania for photography and we would lose what they noticed from simple sit to observe .... The meal does not last long and then via the camera : the cover at home , for now it is a fascinating spectacle . After the orange arrive macaques that clean all that remained , there are many with small seguito . Alcuni to fall in our midst and delusions of grandeur seem to get down in the exhibition . In the meantime it started to rain and all to hide cameras and cameras ... but we are looking under the pioggia . In thirty minutes everything is finished ( I think the rain has accelerated the time ) when we leave are the four in the afternoon as a fool .. Time ? With hindsight : Non - book more < strong > SEPILOK strong > JUNGLE RESORT ( one for the mouse ) Second because you are cut off from the world , better sleep in < strong > Sandakan strong > and then take a taxi or bus to the < strong > SEPILOK strong >, at least you are free to visit the town and eat in the restaurant ... if you want a hand , just wants to relax and nature is well < strong > SEPILOK strong > to ... .. I have no intention of making the company the mouse ( so I have already decided that turn all night with the light on ..) c ' incamminiamo along the road looking at flowers and butterflies , will something be done well ... Climb on a bus for 4 rm ( 89centesimi ) in two leaves us at the farm of crocodiles .. pay 5rm (€ 1 . 11 ) a head to enter and at certain times you are also spettacolino with crocodiles . It is not anything special , but to pass the time and see things in Italy that fortunately do not see , is more than good . The crocodiles are quite calm , but think of trovarseli front is not a good sensazione . Di crocodiles are usually sick or with problemi . Mi struck the caption of a crocodile who said my name and I tot years .. ( 48 ?) and I am here because I ate 4 people and then eat only one chicken a day ... Povero fame ... who knows ... There are also many other animals , a small zoo but a bit depressing for some animals ... We go out and just waiting for a bus on the roadside , where there is also a clearing of mud that is a stop : To get to the hotel we are once fell out of 2 . 5 kilometers on foot to enjoy the best nature .. We are tired , we stop immediately in the resort restaurant , try the lot with two plates of noodles , one with fish and a with meat and verdure . Abbondanti and mangiabili . Spendiamo 19rm ( about € 4 ) in two . Immediately and make room in your bags because we decided to sleep last night in < strong > Sandakan strong > in another hotel booked by Micha . Diego has a headache from fatigue and collapses right away , I with the nightmare of topaccio I do not think proper to sleep , exhausted , at least maybe I will not feel anything ... I read for four hours of sleep , but even the shade , but all the noises of jungle keeps me awake last well sveglia . In Diego and ask him a change of guard . I wake up because of a soprassalto Diego .. click on the wall above our heads a cockroach runs quiet and beautiful full in flesh , I will not exaggerate in saying that it was as big as our index finger but it was close .. Goodbye sleep !!
Visit at Monkeys sanctuary, SANDAKAN
20 / 02 / 2006 MONDAY ' At five starts around the flood , rains , rains , which seems not to ever finish in a time of truce to the nine we try to move from room to the restaurant for all colazione . Paghiamo and salute the jungle forever < strong > SEPILOK strong > resort . Meet Micha that working as a consultant for tourism has excellent links ... we organized the week , and accompanies us to the new hotel . This is a hotel and is called : HOTEL SEAFRONT < strong > Sandakan strong > A splendid room with tv , air conditioning and a bathroom for only 79 rm ( 18 € for two ) immediately accepted the room . Micha tells us that the park Danum valley ( real jungle ) is closed due to the fault of the rains . To see the animals there is only ok ... < strong > TABIN strong > accept because there is no choice , but we had heard right . < strong > TABIN strong > Wildlife Reserve is a huge rainforest centoventimilacinquecento of hectares in the east of the state . There are the Asian elephant , the rhinoceros of Sumatra , the orang utan , the Malaysian owl , the wild boar , in addition to the lush flora of Borneo . Shower in the hotel and out in search of food , try again with a kind of self service in Malaysia , there is nothing to me , everything is new and different ... in order to avoid unpleasant surprises .. take a bit of everything to try and taste new things on ... six or seven opportunities I have two successful but only because I have a variety filled to niente . Diego was luckier because it also eats very spicy . I am still hungry , we stop at the restaurant that offers a dish of meat or fish or lamb plus dessert for just 10 rm (€ 2 . 21 ) Accepted , and we take a single serving : I am a vegetable Brodin ok , and a plate of rice and a piece of meat with vegetables and lots of soy sauce .. and eventually reaches the dessert portion 2 is a small green pudding : cream to menta , but we think not ! We never managed to understand that it tastes , but even if it was tiny we could not finish it .. The two have time to travel to the Shrine of SCIMMIE Našice ...: Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary . this is a large building wooden veranda from which you can watch the monkeys Nasice meal that takes place on the appropriate platforms erected around there . E ' located at the center of a strip of land 17 km that the current owners have saved from complete deforestation of the surrounding areas : this has led to a concentration of wildlife within the boundaries of the bay covered with mangrove and especially of certain groups of Nasice monkeys , so - called because of the large nose proboscis . It seems that the monkeys are fond of this place after having stolen the pancake in the kitchen of the house to the existing resort , so finding a habitat for them congegnale and creating a lucrative business for the owners . Micha is our official guide ( the pay ) we get about an hour and half before you get .. On the way Micha stops for us to taste the famous Durian , ( I had read about this fruit in other previous stories ) But we were not prepared to his taste and smell horrible rotten eggs and onion ... but it is a ritual all tourists should taste this good result for Malaysian but horrible for us ... .. they say that you must eat at least three or four times before you succeed to appreciate it ... but after the first like you to try a second ? Finally there are about nine kilometers off the track , it moves in a track of mud between plantations of palm oil ( the majority of the jungle has been destroyed to make way for these plantations with a view to gain greater ) A palm tree takes seven years before starting to pay off , but then every two months for the owners fifties will its fruit and money fast . We hope you aware that 20 % of the jungle still can bring money through tourism and the save . We reach the sanctuary of monkeys .. we take away his shoes to climb the observation platform and wait ... .. the monkeys are really close Nasice begins mania from photography .... ... Zoom shots and just see the attendant to bring the five food or six birds that we were able to discern increases , leaving all the holes ( plants ) .. but there were even before we were not to see them ... Are divided into three groups and family members eat in three different locations and platforms .. It ' a wonderful and amazing spectacle , and I am crying my heart to think how selfishness can lead to extinction of animals so soft ... With their nose and face strange almost hit me and I am excited more of the orange .. In return there is a driver change , Diego try driving on the right ( driving al ' inglese ) in the muddy path to nine kilometers away from the track ... We meet then at Constance , and Judith Isabel ( other German friends ) and we go to eat at 4th mile < strong > Sandakan strong >: the area is completely or almost Chinese . The place looks like a big open air market under a tin roof and many benches where the furniture and wash the cooking utensils scattered around .... Remember the square in Marrakesh in Morocco only to wash the stuff here with a detergent .. We carry five types of food in trays for three or four people ( vegetables , meat , fish ) tasted a little of everything , very good and we pay a 7rm head (€ 1 . 55 ). Really very little , but I conclude that Diego and not be able to live lot with the Chinese cuisine that does not remember anything to that to which we are accustomed ... Must be in Canada to know and understand the real Chinese food ... or not ? Return to the hotel happy to be able to rest easy .
EXCURSION INSIDE TABIN JUNGLE
21 / 02 / 2006 TUESDAY ' Alarm just after dawn . We must take a taxi to take the bus and get to where LAHUDATU then go to < strong > TABIN strong > ( leaving half of the bank account : excursion from our point of view dear ...) 6rm taxi (€ 1 . 33 ) and brings us to the bus station where we take the bus at 7 : 30 for Lahudatu for 18 rm (€ 4 ) a head ..

Even though we left a backpack at Micha saw the plane again from < strong > Sandakan strong > v & 224 ; there to shoot in the sun with the weight . Expect that the station is nothing but a big open space with a roof and concrete benches for seating and shelter from the sun , surrounded by so many vendors , some are children . Become the subject of observation , should not see many tourists here and the children around us watching our every move and when the offer peanuts to chocolate a child to the movement of my arm back afraid .. Usually it ' s me that their photographer , but in If I feel un ' animale rare . Arrive < strong > TABIN strong > workers with one hour delay and we start , again 20 and more kilometers of skiing in the pits and mud in the jungle ... logically you can not find Susy citt & 224 ;. Ci accepts the responsibility of the site .. It ' s really beautiful , sleeping in a palafitte on the bank of a river in the jungle , with air conditioning and ceiling fans , full of windows and a balcony .... that ' s because it costs so much , you ' re in the jungle and have a great service ... They give us lunch and we are warned that at 15 : 00 we will have the first trip ... We start on an open JEPP but time is rascal , and after twenty minutes starts to rain and we are forced to hide cameras ... Sightings many birds including bucero and a group of macaques at a small downpour forced us to go back wet wet ... Rest up at 18 : 30 in which the service is 2nd trip on foot to see the insects of jungla . Vediamo of frogs , ants morsicano that have almost forced to change direction , the other giant ants ( the most giant of the world ) and other flying insects . I see for the first time , the leeches that I exchange for insects bellini bellini .... Then I know they just change their attitude . Diego shall collect three and kindly gives him a little ' sangue . Sono its small but the hole that they did with their teeth is enough to bleed the foot . Dinner at 19 : 30 and at 20 : 30 we are ready for the 3rd trip with JEPP to see the animals that come out at night . We do not have much luck ... we see a wild pig , two wild cats ( really beautiful but similar to our cats seem to be just that little tigrotti as hair ), a launch .... Let us go to bed exhausted , two hours on that JEPP on a bench wood takes away any desire by establishing that we are standing by half past six in the morning .
TABIN - SEMPORNA
22 / 02 / 2006 WEDNESDAY ' Alarm at 5 : 30 there ' s the fourth hike , walk on foot into the jungle to a volcano of boiling mud . This time we have only two of us plus the guide ... We put the boots antisanguisuga .... In the jungle they met several but we can look vigilant dodge their attacks ... There is a high humidity level , it is hot .... do not see many animals in the three wild pigs and millipedes that appallottolano and a herb or plant called mimosa modest .. if you close touch as if in shame .. if he arrive in the area of the volcano climb at the top of a platform shoot and the nature that surrounds us ... the majestic trees at the rising of the sun are beautiful ... the guide tells us to wait for so many animals come .... We must be good : it ' s a good excuse to take breath .. waiting to hear a distant barrio elephant , perhaps towards the volcano .. MAGARI ... would be a nice reward for what has cost us throughout this trip .. noi . Invece too dear for anything , just a few bucero in the distance , but the noises of the jungle are a lot more than the silence of the jungle ... we return cooked wet and hungry and I am disappointed ... how many things would change in hindsight ... We have left the breakfast table with food and a comfortable shower . Diego a good hunting there , and I sleep the system bag , trash my sneakers are impregnated mud .. Diego is trying to save her , the lava .. but no drying time ever .... Around noon we make a trip and wanting to understand that one can make even walking alone ... but there is a sign that warns : remember your ways ! try to see some monkey but it is completely useless .. Let ' s go to lunch and the two must be prone , we have a taxi and say goodbye forever to < strong > TABIN strong >. Stiamo finishing lunch when Diego note the best of trees or foliage of the trees move , close to our house ... part in exploration , shortly after I follow ... We are a group of macaques ( about twenty ) that jump from balconies from place to place looking for food or steal items out of the forgotten rooms ... shoot again many of the photos .. The two are ready , the sun came out .. now that we go there and spend our time in taxis and buses there is a beautiful sun yesterday ... and we wanted the sun rained ec ' era nuvolo ( even if the sun would certainly dead heat in turn held in antisanguisughe bards and antizanzare ) Delayed by 15 ' minutes providential ... Just leave the resort .. we look around at the bottom even if it ' s all finished we are still in the jungle .. the miracle happens ... A group of at least five , six elephants crossed the road and fell from the jungle to the expanse of palm trees .. Go quietly and we approach them as quickly as possible before they disappear .. We can photograph .. Five minutes of emotion have paid the three hundred euros spent on these days in the jungle ? I have not found an answer but in my heart I ' m happy ... something special I could see it .. It ' s just a matter of being in the right place at the right time , say it is a matter of luck .... We arrive at the bus station to Lahudatu , there are buses , but only the mini bus , small vans for about 10 - 11 people .. The beauty is that it takes you fill .. wait an hour . LAHUDATU -< strong > SEMPORNA strong > 30rm in two ( 6 . 64 €). The journey takes about three hours . Upon arrival we take a taxi 2RM in two un ' hotel to read on the lonely planet and recommended by the Micha .. DRAGGON INN This is a beautiful complex built on stilts on the sea , simple but clean ; rm 66 (€ 15 ) in two with breakfast .. ok ! Diego sees that there is also a laundry service and advantage to wash everything we used to make < strong > TABIN strong > wet , moist and not smell good ... ( 8 Heads of trousers , shirts rm 23 . 5 (€ 5 ) in total ) . tomorrow afternoon will be all ready . We go out to search for your excursion to the island of < strong > Sipadan strong > island described as wonderful and paradise for divers and those who enjoy snorkelling .. Immediately next to it had already heard from other travelers before me there is boren tour operated by UNCLE CHANG he , for no obvious origins Malaysian organizes dive trips to < strong > Sipadan strong > by providing equipment and divemaster , starting daily from marina next to Dragon , and above all at low prices compared to these resort islands . We stop them , we think the price high but acceptable , and is dark , we did not want to run x compare prices , and then run where ? It ' s all dark ! We agree to do 2 dives for snorkeling in < strong > Sipadan strong > and < strong > MABUL strong > at 1 all with transfers , breakfast , lunch and snack included more permission to enter < strong > Sipadan strong > rg 160 (€ 33 ). Departure at 7 : 45 eat in the restaurant next door , same style is also beautiful on the beach , perhaps the management even if the name is different but the breakfast is included in the price of the room make it in this ristorante . Io as usual I am having problems in the choice of food : English , Chinese and Malay for me are all equal , and I have fixed the soups and we try again , a fish soup with Spaghettini Diego eating the noodles with seafood ( I am not sure how we imagine we in Italy ), as usual , his food is the most beautiful and most especially good ... we do return , Diego also ordered fried shrimp , but they are fried , fried in a batter cake , I eat a later step . Reorganized the spaghetti with seafood but tipa understands evil and brings us back to the soup ( note that we had not even finished the other ) the woman that she made a side door so that if you bother to put us in the mouth by force ... another waitress spoke , sorry sorry and moved off the soup . Wait and after 5 minutes comes the soup but very dry and upside down in a dish , I say no , and that he understands tipa wrong but leaves us to understand : I have brought this and that you eat ! Diego was speechless and did not want to discutere . Che courage , take away the broth and reserve . I am tough and not give the call and one of 4 phrases in English that I know say there is no problem but I want to pay a menu ... and reordering the same dish as before . In the end the much - coveted dish of noodles arrived , the best I have ever eaten in Malaysia .... At the end of things eaten and left and 5 % gratuity and 10 % tax we pay about 46 rg € 10 in two . Hello hello bad fart , time to read that tomorrow will be another giornatina light .
SIPADAN - MABUL
23 \ 02 \ 2006 THURSDAY ' I wake up at 6 , there is outside the flood rains to divert , so that perhaps for the 8 will stop but the time will come out bad or the sun ? We shall see ! We go out that it does not rain , the meeting point will be distributed bags to protect blacks backpacks from rain and water that each sub after you download the dive boat . E ' boat very Spartan already wet because of rain but offer a service adequate , and it seems the stories are left to the hotel . After an hour of good crossing and an alternative of hope for clouds and sun , we come to < strong > MABUL strong > and go for breakfast : clean enough , nothing special but with our spirit of adaptation must be more than good . Chang co - runs a long to < strong > MABUL strong > island , with meals as well as accommodation , is in the village of fishermen , and is close to < strong > MABUL strong > < strong > Sipadan strong >, the long house is a series of small rooms distributed along the corridor , the atmosphere is spartan , as it should be , we are on a palafitte directly on the sea , behind the village , and easy contact with people . Some stop to sleep in < strong > MABUL strong > thus will have only 20 minutes to traverse to get to < strong > Sipadan strong >. They are small rooms on the sea , a simple rg 50 (€ 11 ) a head with the cibo . Se we had had more time we would stop overnight . After breakfast we start . We do first snorkeling in the sea , near the drop - off , do not ever go on the blue . I have a bit of fear , so that in this sea is everything . Spot a lot of fish , there is no shame the sun shine all the more . Try the main reason why we have come to < strong > Sipadan strong >, but nothing .... We arrive on the beach , the classic picture postcard beaches : beautiful , inhabited only by the soldiers who control it ( poor them , it is up to the military here !) And Varani gigantic water are harmless , but with their 2 m in length shall not pass some unnoticed . We make a picnic with the cakes and banane . Diego accidentally tasted the cake at a duriam ... crap flavored onion gear ! Malaysian like to much . We can do your second dive from the beach , we dived from the pier and we are a bunch of fish which do not see it will start fine , we do not have the courage to pass through them bypassed . Below is a real paradise , full of all sorts of fish and corals of all kinds and at the end here that there appears to us before leaving quite carried away by current : THE TURTLE ! Too beautiful and sweet , if there was the sun ... we see the other 2 and also squaletti about half a meter and there are even bigger fish and longer than me , says Diego that are tuna , I still ride the rough . Beautiful , I think that < strong > Sipadan strong > is still a paradise because it is protected by tourists from waste and from everything that harms . We refueled at < strong > MABUL strong > eating , do not understand why the third draft is not done but do not insist : mission accomplished SHARKS AND TURTLES . While waiting to return to < strong > SEMPORNA strong > we deviate from the group and mezz ' oretta do a tour to the island . We walk among their piles , they are all very polite and smiling , the children greet you happy and you do not ask for charity , only to have a picture . The would have given something , but not ruining and why not learn to see the tourist as one who , not do anything except an opportunity to review the photos and laugh at crepapelle were reviewed . I want to give him a polaroid one never knows when they will have a whole picture per se , but perhaps I am not so poor , just different from us out of habit or by choice , who knows ... I have not had time to study and then I do not speak english . The sea is a beautiful turquoise green , clear and transparent ... we do some photos and we gather the group ... sta ' uscendo the sun . Thank you , thank you . Return to < strong > SEMPORNA strong >, we are somewhat ' cooked a nice shower , a meal and then to bed , tomorrow , the bus leaves at 7 : 30 . For dinner we go out in search of clubs that inspire us , the road is very dark and not very busy , we do not trust to walk to the center and go there to take a taxi . Cut back on our feet and we stop in an outdoor clubs run by Muslims ; again eat noodles with seafood and shrimp to plate Diego , spend 20rg (€ 4 . 5 ). In a hotel close backpacks and sleeping .
BACK TO SANDAKAN
24 \ 02 \ 2006 FRIDAY ' We are still tired when the alarm clock brings us back to reality . Diego has a strange male in all the bones and a little cold , it ' s cooked , we blame the fact that getting up early in the morning always is in arrears with the sonno . Che anger out there is a sun that breaks the stones and we will pass 6 - 7 hours by bus . We regret so much not having seen the maximum of < strong > Sipadan strong >, the fault of time . There we go , saying that perhaps we come back . Bus to < strong > Sandakan strong >, very scalcinato and each hole seems to be dancing ... carousel . E ' slow as a snail , do not come anymore . Diego tries to sleep , feel bad , I sopravvivo . Ci stop at a check - point , and we check passports . We left at 8 to arrive in < strong > Sandakan strong > at about 14 to the bus - station from there to the Sea - front hotel , the room is no longer at the 4th floor but on the 3rd , fortunately due to the weight of backpacks and there is no more lift . A rise we think the little man bags but we are all down ! The room is smaller but it is ok ! Eat something and then read : Diego is in a coma , has caught a lovely cold . We wake up to the 6 in the evening we go to dinner and to download the photos on CD to empty cards . Come on by our friends in the place and Micha Costance and other Chinese and Malaysian all together . Very beautiful and toccante . Parliamo in English : Diego and I talk mimo . Retrieve his knapsack left at home by Micha is quite heavy and take it down from the 4th floor . Promise for the next trip : a maximum of 10 kg each . A bed having sent a few e - mails with photos of our dear friends in Italy ( to make them the envy Schiattare ). Tomorrow we have the plane from < strong > Sandakan strong > to kl at 10 .
SANDAKAN - KL - PENANG
25 / 02 / 2006 SATURDAY Descent with backpacks , breakfast at hotel rg 23 (€ 5 ) in two and taxi to the airport 15 rg (€ 3 . 32 ). What a pity to leave the Borneo right now that the sun comes out ... It is because today that the move involved the transfer from one place to another there is the sun . Atter to Kl and immediately take the train that takes you from downtown where all the buses and trains for different destinations , we are direct to Penang . I can not believe is 14 : 00 and the only train departs at 20 : 45 . If nothing else we travel at night in bunk really just spending 70 rg in two (€ 15 . 50 ) and arrive at its destination tomorrow at 5 : 30th Ok , not much choice ! But waiting six hours as the cheat ? If Diego Stassano well maybe we could leave backpacks and luggage to the depot to go around the city , but he is evil and after eating at Mc Donald , we adopt a bench , and while Diego is trying to sleep I read all about our new location , what to visit , etc ... a bit of recovery time and meditate on our mistakes as glispostamenti .... With hindsight : 1 Do not take the flight had to return air from < strong > Sandakan strong >, but arriving at and departing from < strong > Sandakan strong > and Tawau ( near < strong > Sipadan strong >) we would have avoided a day of wasted trip by bus to return to Sipandan , sleeping in the hotel and wait until the next morning flight to kl ... 2nd Once we had landed at Kl take a flight to Penang , avoiding downtime and more time wasted to wait .. Time for organizing and booking in advance with air asia flights spending really little . In practice to go to Penang from Borneo have wasted two days . No more like a mistake , but wrong , and we do learn the bones for the next viaggi . Sicuramente have traveled by bus to Mexico the year before was upon us an influence in this country was wrong ... The Mexico has an excellent bus network , covering all destinations , both day and night and always go anywhere at any time of day or notte . In Malaysia we had calculated to make all movements at night as we did in Mexico recovering time and saving on the cost of the night at the hotel , but logically the whole world is not the same and we had to adapt and make us smarter , where it was still possible to recover . So book a flight to < strong > LANGKAWI strong > areo from KL , so instead of managing the journey by land the way we manage air certainly save time . Fortunately , the train departs on time , we are in a wagon with a forty of bunk beds , everything is open , only a curtain for a while donarti ' privacy , it is all very well our beds are facing each other , and are those above . Pick up the backpacks on the beds since there is no bin bags is a lot of fun sleeping more or less well , but overall the trip is also fairly comfortable . At five there is the little man of the train controller told us to wake up and tells us that the next stop is ours , the night before had marked all the stops now and warns them when they ... Other than the service railway and Italian ... notice the subtle touch of controversy ?
PENANG - GEORGE TOWN
26 / 02 / 2006 SUNDAY Punctual to go ... we are a part Butterword . Alle 6 : 00 on the first ferry port on the island of Penang ; Tickets cost 1 . 20 rg a head (€ 0 . 30 ) The journey takes thirty minuti . Prendiamo a taxi and we head to < strong > GEORGE TOWN strong > the hotel chosen at random , more or less , from Lonely Planet . The hotels do not open before eight , and that we have already dismissed the taxi we are walking with backpacks in the area dark and drunk people . Outwardly calm and a little ' rough entirely turn heading towards all the signs written with .. This hotel is closed , this is squallido out , figured in , this is ok .. are open 25 rg per night in two (€ 5 . 54 ) ... I can see the room ... there ' s a bathroom in the room .. no no .. I ' m sorry ( as it is a good excuse to leave ). Diego to see the room is passed in front of a room where the woman merry ( not to call them with a less pretty name ) had just finished work and are lining ..). It also works as a home appointment . Changing area and better air .. Note that this path is called the Love Line ( way of ): there is no more suitable name ! Take a taxi and we tell him to bring in more hotels reported on lonely planet and that will stay with us until they find a suitable . Leads us immediately into an international hotel , the classic mega Palazzone without personality ... not even go down , we want something more local and certainly less expensive . We find the CATHAY HOTEL . E ' and much better in his day was certainly a beautiful colonial - style villa now a hotel , feels a little ' the signs of time , but as a structure has to stop allora . E ' very characteristic . Has enormous internal stairs that take you upstairs , a garden ... accepted the room for 69 rg per night (€ 15 ) The room is huge with two double beds , everything is old but clean . Diego after a nice shower sleeps a few hours .. It starts to rain .. wait ... We go out to explore the city and now we are WILLINHOLLY by a little man with his trishaw who with his wheelchair with a bike will take you around an hour to the city . 15rg a head (€ 3 . 32 ). Every now and then .. spiovigina visit the temple of Khoo Kongs rg 10 to enter into two (€ 2 . 21 ). Beautiful and particular visitamo then a fishing village , then move on in Little India .. and Chinatwon apart from the mixture of time and churches of all kinds ( Chinese , Buddhists , Hindus , Catholics , Evangelists , Baptists , etc . ..) we do not see much of a people , think : perhaps the fault is the fact that today is Sunday and everything is closed , or was a city alive and active before the tsunami and we want to go away as soon as possible but we have already paid for two nights .. and we have many choices . Let ' s go to the hotel to rest your legs , Diego continues to be bad , is worse .. In the afternoon , teaches us to be able to rent a scooter for the day after and we take the local bus to go out of town to see one of the most beautiful time , the , Kek Lok Si , the entrance is free except for the pagoda ( l ' last at the top end ) costs 2RG (€ 0 . 44 ) a testa . L ' bus leaves us at the foot of the temple , but to get there and see it well you have to do a nice climb which fortunately is not under the sun ( which fortunately came out ) but in a tunnel , at least it was in the shade .. stairway between small Chinese shops that sell you stop to all ( which we studied as a thing ?) Passes next to a mini cement pond full of turtles , some are really great .. is full of food and throw them see only a collection of turtles in the struggle for cibo . Arrivati on top of the temple is truly majestic and impressionante . Merita 100 % to be seen . Diego unfortunately continues to deteriorate and we decide to do a ' quick jump to last Komt ( mega shopping mall on the bed lonely ) .. here ' s where it all ended ... people understand too ... hence the chaos and then does not seem to nothing cheap . Diego is evil are the six in the evening and want to return .. Next to the shopping center ' s PIZZA HUT and then I eat a pizza margherita ( good ) and Diego some mixed fruit and ice cold fragola . Ha crazy and maybe a fever . By 19 : 30 we are at the hotel , he is hot and I fear a bit , I ask the recpition if they have a thermometer , but nothing and maybe it ' s better this way ... The not knowing sometimes protects you , we continue with self - seen walking the pharmacy that I have brought back and with a wet cloth on the forehead .. and we hope that ten hours of sleep have a real positive . I system rather backpacks , I read , I sleep too soon .
PENANG ISLAND TOUR
27 / 02 / 2006 MONDAY ' Diego wakes up more rested , that is good is impossible , but at least it seems that no longer has a fever .. breakfast and then down another pill . Hurry practices for rental scooter 30 rg + 10 petrol (€ 8 . 86 ) and having bought a detailed map of the part .. E ' un bel travel , mainly economico . A is fast and we feel like molto . Ti free , you stop when and where you want ... 1st stage : the BOTANICAL GARDEN looking for special flowers and monkeys because the leadership they noted the presence .. We look at three who rummage nell ' immondizia and then nothing .. The entry into this immense park It ' s free .. The garden is truly beautiful and wonderful but it is in fact up and down by large valley and under the sun .. it is not at all relaxing , but tiring .. not turn everything and renounce to met & 224 ;. Vediamo of beautiful flowers and for us the entirely new . 2nd stage the Batu ' FERRING defined by all the most beautiful beach of the island , but we remain very disappointed .. the sea is not anything special and as a landscape there are only residential buildings , resorts and hotels only cement ... .. 3rd stage at GARDEN OF SPICES 26rg entered into two (€ 5 . 70 ). Again a dip into nature , trees and flowers of each species in three paths to follow , but this time it is completely immersed in nature and was in the shade . Finally you bring in tractor , train type , on top of the hill where There is a convenience store and a bar - restaurant . Everything is designed very well , you just overview of the sea , eat something for a while and recharge the way towards We make a stop at a Batik factory to buy a picture for our house .... 4th stage BUTTERFLIES OF THE FARM , by butterflies Entry 30 + 5 rg camera (€ 7 . 75 ) to enter and you ' re in a beautiful greenhouse Equatorial surrounded by butterflies fly around you and with some luck also rely on you .. We have found that almost every island or state has one , we suggest you visit at least one , maybe not all the same , but try not least because the spending is not excessive . 5th stage TEMPLE OF THE SERPENT where we read that there is the belief that the poisonous snakes that are twisted sacred poles are made harmless by the smoke of incense .. Diego is fascinated by the idea of visiting him , I at all , if one wakes up and bites me ? The want to visit at all costs has been one of those things that in hindsight , you would not for many reasons : one because all the other things we visited were located in the upper part of the island and only this temple is located in the lower and then we had to go through the whole island and the mountains , a whole up and down and a curve to right and left .... in the end we have a male to sit back and who do not posiamo more . Arrived at the temple remain very disappointed : a squalid and very simple with only two twisted viperine sleeping and it was already all over ... Long way for nothing , and in < strong > GEORGE TOWN strong > we left behind the statue of Buddha lying 33mt long , some say it is the second longest in the world ... We are both destroyed , but our thirst to see never stops ... and then by searching for Buddha and his tempio . Domandiamo information and arrive at the end has already closed . The guards are there to photograph from outside ( the outside promises well ) and a little disappointed we head back to Komt pizza hut because of the stomach Diego not bear the thought of eating Chinese , Malay or inidano ... Riconsegnamo scooter and then I close the backpack and immediately to bed .
LANGAWI ISLAND
28 / 02 / 2006 TUESDAY ' 7 : 45 to pass the front of the bus that brings us to the ferry to LANGAWI . Arriva already full of tourists like us , our penultimate stop . Diego cluttered room behind a backpack between his legs and one arm , I share the seat with the boy in front of the bus stop .. thank goodness that the trip takes only ten minutes . After thirty minutes of waiting on the ferry go up through the ladder in a defect with very steep descent , we sit there the air conditioning manetta , it freezes and just waiting for the crossing that finish as soon as possible ( 2 hours ). Cecilia know a girl originally from Ferrara who works in a hotel in Sardinia from April to October and the rest of the time it takes to travel around the world by backpackers sola . Che courage ! In two ok , but alone , I never ! E ' game in November and will end on 18 March its viaggio . Ha visited Vietnam , Laos , Cambodia , Peninsular Malaysia , and now after a stop in Langawi , will go to Thailand to review all the places he had seen a week before the tsunami . Landed we take the same taxi to the tourist beach of Pantai CENANG .. I read I expected tourist Rimini type or full of hotels and palaces ... or rather there is a ... .. and the beach is a long expanse of sand and palme . E ' beautiful and relaxing and almost empty . There are small cottage or bungalow along the beach under the palms , each with its then ristorantino . Noi reading the lonely we chose SANDY BEACH RESORT Nothing special but the room is huge , there is a double bed plus one single , air conditioning all at 77 rg with breakfast (€ 17 ). Good ! Now the morning is gone , cooked and crumbled from the sleep we get up to strength to the four .. goal to see the beach , to contract for the hire of the scooter and see if there ' s something good to buy as a souvenir for us , or for some gifts .. On the main road and there are only so many small shops souvenires , clothes and ristorantini . Il sea is not beautiful , normal , but the whole gives us a charge of energy . Romantic walk at sunset ... I would like the time you stop for a while '... We are giving a little ' charging many photos ... we do ... On the beach we meet so many crabs , starfish and Pagura , we conclude that if the beach is so alive , surely the sea is even more , then later ask for a taxi driver tells us that the water of rice fields nearby , its mud , dirty the sea ... We go to bed without dinner , because unless one is eating is hungry ? Diego is improving albeit slowly , the medicines are creating further problems in the stomach .
LANGAWI ISLAND TOUR
01 / 03 / 2006 WEDNESDAY ' Alarm towards half past eight for breakfast more than made abundant on the banks of the nine spiaggia . Alle can already take the scooter 39rg (€ 8 . 70 ) we must deliver it tomorrow morning at nine , with a full tank of petrol . We start loads and eager to see some beautiful scenery on the map we have marked all the things to vedere . L ' island is more beautiful and green and Penang as glance it more pleasant and relaxing to see so many palm trees and nature . Each country has a school then we would deduce that there are problems of illiteracy . I ' m not poor , have only a culture and a life different from ours , but do not call them poor , are we that we have become accustomed to things and too many unnecessary things have become indispensable . The beaches are beautiful but the sea has nothing special , nothing that I take away your breath , I chose one and we pause a while ... The area that we chose is the tour of the mangroves and other excursions , but after we in the jungle Borneo have no desire to spend more money on things already seen . Way every time we see signs that say , careful of wild animals may cross the street ... and so our joy for us it happens . Fifty monkeys are at the edge of the road playing and eating , some walking in the middle of the road , so we fear that any machine can crush someone , like a cat ... We are heading for a waterfall , the picture seems nice ... but it is already a hot and sunny , we are tired , before getting a foot in a small eat chioschetto the sides of the road : two Chinese dishes is spaghetti and drinking the pay rg only 6 . 70 (€ 1 . 40 ) in two ... this time we have spent very little , and was also good . We refueled and begin a climb but the rigagnolo water below us does not provide a very large waterfall .. my prevvisione avvera . La it is a waterfall cascade . But we are still in the shade and we stop an hour . Diego began to show her stomach problems and spaghetti do not want to know to get off ... you are stopped in the stomach and remain for a long time . By boiling the road we head towards Kuah , the capital of ... We hope to see some shops which until now we really mancata . Sono le 15 : 30 . Giriamo some ethnic stores , some are even on offer , with discounts of 20 to 40 %, but nothing draws us ... .. or strikes It is not the fault of the stores that we do not turn , we are down to stage .. Diego for his influence , I for the syndrome preciclo and my headaches per month .. We refuse to become martyrs only to see the whole city , get in a hotel bed dreaming . Sleep a couple of hours around 20 : 30 and we go out for a nice bath and some spending , I believe that beautiful things like that really are forever , even here , nothing is free ... or nearly . C ' innamoriamo a kind of tent embroidered with the elephants ... we think twice seen the price .. but since our house is ok .. go to this little madness . We deliver the scooter in the evening because tomorrow morning we want to sleep or at least be free dinner ... along the beach in the resort restaurant , or rather I ceno Diego and eats only fruit ... no longer has the feeling of hunger , everything makes sense ... . you want to see that this time he lost weight seriously ? At the end of vacation lost 5 - 6 kg . A bed and hope to recover the forces ... even if we fail to explain why ...
LANGAWI - KUALA LUMPUR
02 / 03 / 2006 THURSDAY ' We ' re in bed until there is no ... ten o ' clock breakfast on the beach ... prepare your bags because tonight we expect the flight from kl to Langawi ( flight booked on Saturday for its first avoid further wastage of time ) booked a few days before the 285 pay rg in two (€ 61 ) think of the savings if a booked two months before , for example ... We leave the backpacks in the hotel recpition and we endorse what the lonely is the largest aquarium in Asia . 38 rg a head to enter (€ 8 ) Certainly in Asia are very bad for aquaria if this is truly one of the greatest hope for the Asian lonely this time has taken a hoax ... if they see that what they think of Genoa to be directly in the sea ? It ' nice but very small and in the one hour visit tutto . La vomitevole thing is that they define 3D cinema : you have absolutely no feeling that things or fish in this case you are like him in real three - dimensional cinema and then you tell the story of un ' orca and shark eating a bird , a swan and a duck floating on water . It ' true that life is so but because of traumatized children ? The experience at the visit ends too soon , we thought we had to use three hours ... now what do we do ? It ' too hot and we decide to wait at the airport ( so now we have become accustomed ). 16rg Taxi (€ 3 . 50 ) he tells us that this is a fixed rate for the airport . WARNING : we thought we could eat once safely inside is not so ... there ' s only one squallidissimo restaurant full of people and more expensive : we two tiny pizza margherita and 1 bottle of water we have spent 48rg (€ 10 . 50 ) .. LADRI ... and they were not even good read ... and wait ; board at 17 : 00 . I ' m taking too many airplanes , plus I take the more likely an accident ... better not think about it ... Also this time the flight is all ok ! Lasts about an hour , the time i get on and we already go down the baggage ... .. ok .... Train that takes us from the airport to KL city , 70rg in two (€ 15 . 50 ). As soon as we descend assaulted by taxi drivers ... one wants to accompany us for 35 rg (€ 7 . 75 ) ... are aware of thieves , take advantage of disoriented because one comes not aware where there are buses , metro etc . .. and more evening and take advantage of them . Diego fires 20rg (€ 4 . 43 ) and we move to walk one of them .. there follows ok go for 20 rg .. There door in the choice CHINATOWON advance ! We had a shortlist of four or five hotel .. we stop just before the LOK ANNA Diego rises to see .... I check backpacks ... they consider the most wretched ad ' ora seen ... More hotels are in a famous street that afternoon and evening until late is closed to traffic because .. there is a kind of Chinese market for all things Chinese tarocchi .. Something indescribable , stalls full of Adidas shoes , Nike , Puma etc ... full of Gucci watches , etc . .. full of wallets and handbags etc . ... .. full of shirts all Chinese stuff .. even if we make a preliminary whole Adidas stuff is made in South East Asia and perhaps is not even so tarocchi .... I link everything Marrakesch All call you and tell you buy , buy , look at my bench ... so for us the moment we have only to search . SWISS INN to look beautiful ... but too expensive for us ... here is more with what my heart by reading the guides had decided from the outset : the CHINA TOWN INN . Hopefully well enough to have a clean bed .. there is a windowless room with air conditioning and tv and bathroom for rg 79 . 90 (€ 17 . 50 ) in two ok ? Ok after having seen .. Confirmed for two nights , Saturday evenings we have a flight that takes us back home . A nice refreshing shower and an hour of rest .. try walking in the street , to see up close the market chaos too .. we are still not prepared for how to negotiate and shopping , all you need until tomorrow ...
VISIT OF KUALA LUMPUR
03 / 03 / 2006 FRIDAY ' We go by subway to the Petronas and several shopping centers . The Petronas are really impressive ... We do the usual photo - rite and tribulations to make them a little into all nell ' obbiettivo camera . Eat around here and it .. I really Malls are majestic , very organized , clean and on the American model and full of schiccherie West . Also visit the neighborhood of the Indians called little india , moving to that of Muslims since Friday where there is great celebration around the moschea . Tutto very affascinante . Camminiamo in the streets but a warm hallucinating . We make shopping at Globe , a large multi - storey shop that sells all sorts of goods at prices far east . Returning in the afternoon in the district of Chinatown we are ready to dedicate ourselves to treat costs ... and then buy six pairs of running shoes Adidas and Puma and Nike for about nine , ten euros per pair ... In Italy , comparing them with the originals do not see the difference : I know what I have spent at least € 100 in less .... Dinner at a Chinese restaurant at the bottom of the street , perhaps the stomach Diego is a great reopening ... Eat rice to crab night ....
