After a speedboat and flight, we've arrived back in Kuala Lumpur, and have installed ourselves back in the Pan Pacific hotel. Yes, I know it's a cop-out, and we should be tramping the streets searching for our usual standard of flea-pit, but, hey, what's £40-a-night going to get us back in England? Might as well treat ourselves while we can! And the staff are wonderful - when the girls said it was my birthday they rushed around and produced a chocolate birthday cake. And I got a pile of Happy Birthday emails. Aaah.
