Malaysia - Day 5

Day 5 - Thursday 20 September:

I woke up to my alarm at 7.15am to have a shower. Sadly the water was not hot, but I was desperate. I washed my hair in the cold water, and afterwards I felt so refreshed. We all met at the Indian restaurant for breakfast at 8am. We all just had toast, as none of us were particularly hungry after the previous night's dinner & supper.

After breakfast we checked out of the hotel and went to the church. We saw a group of children using the library! Ps Daniel's wife showed us some handmade souvineers, beaded necklaces, purses made from recycled chip packets, and wall hangings. We bought a few things, knowing the money was going to good cause.


Afterwards, we took a trip to the Malaysia/Thailand border. We had a look around at the duty free shop, but Zen said the prices would be the same at the airport, so we should wait until then to buy alcohol. We picked up some fruit - a waterlily mango - which was delicious. We left the border around 11am and started our long journey home. We stopped in Ipoh for lunch around 2.30 - 3pm and then caught rush hour traffic coming back into KL. We finally arrived back at the Luther Centre at 7pm.  We convinced Zen to get us pizza for dinner - we wanted something non-Asian - and yet the pizzas still had an Asian flavour to them.

The remainder of the night was just spent relaxing after a busy few days.
