I finally left the Perhentian Islands.... I took a speed boat back to the mainland and shared a taxi to the airport in Kota Baru. I flew back to KL, took the bus into the city, easily got onto the Meonorail and went back to the Golden Triangle area I stayed at when I first got to Malaysia. I had some cheaper happy hour beers and went back to the same Thai restaurant for some amazing green curry. In the morning I got a taxi back to KL Sentral, took the bus back to the airport, and then flew to Bali.
Everything seemed so easy like I had been there and done that before. Oh yeah... I have.... many times. Upon arrival in Bali, I got money from the ATM, got a taxi strait to Sanur, and booked a speed boat to Lembongan. I then got some doughnuts for the staff at World Diving and at Linda's where I stay. The boat ride was pleasant and bumpy. Ketut was on the beach with his motorbike to take me to Lindas's. Everything went smooth and as planned. It was so nice to be back on Nusa Lembongan ready for diving and to see old friends.

Floating Villages: Lake Titikaka
I visited the floating villages made entirely of reeds. About 4 families live on each island and marke themselves and their handicrafts to tourists. Click to find link.
Machu Pichu
I finally made it to Machu Pichu. The "hill" in the background is Winapichu. It was a 35+ minute hike strait up hill. The view from the top was amazing.
Salkantay Peak
This is the view from the highest point I climbed. it was 4852 meters. The rock formations are offerings to the mountains. It was VERY cold on the top of the mountain.
Plaza Del Arms, Cusco
My hostel was directly behind the 'photagrapher' and up a hill and up another 150 stairs. This is the main square of the town.
Mola Mola
The video I have is very similar to this picture, only I am in front of the giant oceanic sunfish, rather than this diver. I will swap out photos when I upload to my computer.
My View off The Perhentians
This is the view from the restaurant of the accomadation I stay at. While eating, reading on the beach, or sitting on my porch, this is what i see all day long. The beach faces west, so it is in the shae till about 1- 1:30 and the sun sets just to the left of that bigger island after 7. Everynight we watch electrical storm along the horizon.
Perentian Islands
This is an arial view of the Islands Kecil and Besar (little and big). I ended up on Kecil (the left) on the beach facing west... the only part that shows light blue water on that side. The ilands are right off the east coast on the amp below where the yellow and orange areas meet. Click on the map for a larger view.
Petronas Towers
I finally made it to the Towers. They were absolutely amazing!!!
Malaysia

KL Public Transportation
I took the dark purple line from the airport to the sentral station. The big white circle is where I got lost looking for the olive green Monorail line. None of the line actually go in the directions on this map... rater they zig-zag around in cirlces. Click on map for larger image.
