Locations
If we mention somewhere special in a story or post a picture that catches your eye we don't want to leave you wondering where it is. Here's where the geographically inclined can find some information about the locations from our posts. You can go straight there with the google maps link or plug the coordinates into the mapping tool of your choice.
20 Nov 2007 : Bangkok |

It's huge!
The marker is for Wendy's Guesthouse in Siam Square. (It's not perfect, but it's a lot less hectic and hassled than Khao San Road - you decide!) |

17 Nov 2007 : Krabi |
|
 |
A jumping off point for Phi Phi and surrounded by awesome karst country and beaches, Krabi is also famous for caves which were inhabited and extensively painted by prehistoric humans. Four memorials to said early humans can be found holding up the traffic lights at this intersection. |

09 Nov 2007 : Ko Phi Phi |
|
 |
The arrow marks the big island, Phi Phi Don. Immediately to the south is Phi Phi Leh - the most spectacular island we've ever seen and an absolute must for a day trip if you're ever out this way. Zoom into this one and you'll find yourself right on top of our bungalow at Phi Phi Hill Resort. |

24 Oct 2007 : Georgetown, Penang |
|
 |
The forecourt of The Cathay Hotel on Lebuh Leith.
The Cathay has loads of atmosphere and friendly owners. It's not the cheapest by any means, but it's a good place to stay... |

16 Oct 2007 : Ipoh |
|
 |
The arrow marks the Ipoh Tree out the front of the Majestic Station Hotel.
Apt really - the tree's sap is used for blowpipe dart poison! |

08 Oct 2007 : Cameron Highlands |

Tanah Rata, as near as we can tell.
(The Garmin e-Trex GPS has died, taking all our locations with it to cheap crap electronics heaven.) |

01 Oct 2007 : Taman Negara |
|
 |
A long boat ride upriver will bring you here to Kuala Tahan. You can get there by road - but you don't get the "Heart of Darkness" ambience that way.
It's Jurassic Park with leeches on the far side of the river... |

09 Sep 2007 : Kota Bharu |
|
 |
Click the Google Maps Link and you'll be looking down on Asrama Pelancong "Ideal" - the Ideal Travellers' Guesthouse. The folks there are great and it's a good cheap place to stay in KB.
We know. We had to wait four weeks there for replacement credit cards from home. So should've had them mailed to the Perhentians! |

03 Sep 2007 : Pulau Perhentian |
|
 |
This'll take you to Flora Bay on the south side of the Big Island. It's pretty quiet and laid back there, but the underwater world is fantastic. If it's action you're after, it's a short walk across the island and a boat ride to the Little Island and Long Beach... |

Don't miss the turtles! |

14 Aug 2007 : Pulau Tioman |
|
 |
From here at Air Batang (ABC) on Pulau Tioman it's 4268 kilometers as the crow flies to Molloy, which was the last island we posted here. If the crow did fly it, he'd find it a whole lot greener, wetter and warmer up here. Especially warmer! |

Found a really good value hotel here on Orange Grove Road, just off the main strip of Orchard Road. Can't recall it's name just now, but contact us if you need to know! |

19 May 2007 : Sugarloaf Rock |
|
 |
We visit Sugarloaf Rock up near Cape Naturaliste. It's a grey day but it doesn't detract from the awesomeness of the place. We stay 'til dusk.
Evenstar goes off and comes up with five posts... |

26 Mar 2007 : Molloy Island |
|
 |
Our starting point and island home. Close to the most southwestern point of Western Australia, at the confluence of the Blackwood and Scott Rivers, the island's four hundred acres almost fill the north-east arm of the Blackwood's estuary. |
