Wanderlust

I'm planning for a trip with the guys up north in good ol Malaysia in March and its jolly exciting. Currently the plan is to head up north by the Jungle Express to Kota Bahru, then we'll stay over for the night. The Thai border town of Sungei Kolok is an hour's bus ride, and if possible, it be nice ot pop in and out of Thailand for lunch ahaha, or just to get my passport stamped and the customary border crossing pics taken. 


Following day is to head down pass Kuala Trengannu and on to Marang, and hop on a speedboat for a 15 min ride to Pulau Kapas,also known as Cotton Island for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Hope it lives up to its hype. After 3D2N soaking the sun, sand and sea, its off to KL for one more night before catching a flight home on Sunday. Awesome stuff!

Even planning this trip stirs up something deep within, the urge to travel, to see new things, to get off the beaten track. Its so much a part of me to travel and explore, to break new ground. Just the other day I was salivating over the opportunity to one day travel from Beijing via Mongolia to Moscow on the trans-Siberian. Man what a heady exprience to travel throught the Russian hinterland, on the tracks laid down by Tsar Nicholas. One day God willing! haha.

Wanderlust.
