So, the beginning of our weekend trip to the malaysian island of TIOMAN commenced! Walked across the bridge and arrived in Johor BAhru - The gateway to Malaysia...what a contrast - taxi's were ROUGH - the grounds are sooo much dirtier and taxi drivers looked us girls up and down!! ewww! we stopped off for a 11pm dinner in the local hawker centre, which seemedto be in the middle of a residential area and was full of local's! Food waa, nevertheless, yummy! Cheese and banana pratha, was my favourite! mmmmm, so fresh!

The search for a taxi driver at 1130pm on a thursday evening, who was willing to take us to Mersing (a port and a 4hr journey away!!!) proved to be a right mission!!! we finally approached a group of drivers, who seemed to be finishing for the day, or soemthing....the conferred amongst themselves in malay for some minutes, which was quite unnerving when it was so dark and there was a group of them (was glad of the 2 boys at this point - i hope they would have put up a fight if needed! :p ).....eventually one agreed to take us, at a price (about 20GBP each) - not bad as we were so desperate!!! - we had a ferry to catch at 7am!!!

and off we went in a car that grosely lacked suspension.....bumping all the way!! - however, we did manage to fall asleep in the dark - whether we should have or not is another matter...the roads were dark, the driver had never been there before....it was dogey to say the least - frankly, we could have ended up anywhere!!! - but at least we had the boys 'ey! lol!
