Bali to Singapore to Kuala Lumpur... in under 12 hours

Hey there,

The flight was amazing! Definitely made up for the early start. In fact, we were so early to the airport, check in hadn't started, and neither had the departures lounge opened... Singapore Airlines was brilliant, huge breakfast (the size made up for the taste), films... big chairs... unfortunately the flight was only 2.5 hrs long so didn't get to watch too many films.

Singapore was so nice, (all that we saw of it in 1 hour), - so clean, everything works - drivers kept to their own lanes and it was so clean, (so cliche). But lovely and friendly and helpful. Managed to get a bus for 6 hours up to Kuala Lumpur, going through immigration so easily and customs too. Actually, that was because no one was manning the station, but oh well! The bus was big and empty, and the seats were comfortable and even had massagers in the back of them, such luxury.

So arrived in KL, and are staying in the Backpackers Travellers Inn in Chinatown, as it is cheap. We splurged an extra 50p per night to stay in our own room, rather than the rather bleak and dismal dorm rooms. It's absolutely fine, although the lights when walking through Chinatown are rather too much for me, and am feeling rather dazed...! Oh well, I'm sure we'll get accustomed... Anyway, trying to sort out our visas here in KL at the moment, so might get stuck here for rather a long time, at least a week if we have to do our Indian visa, and it looks like we'll have to.

So hope all's ok in the UK,
Lots of love from us all,
Alice xxx
