We Love Malaysia

It is crazy how fast these 3 months flew by.  We head home on Thursday!  It has been so wonderful here.  We love Malaysia!  We have really enjoyed our time here and will never forget the things we saw, people we met, and the memories we made.  We are happy to be heading home, but we will miss Malaysia!!

Pangkor Island

Happy New Year!  Here are pictures from our visit to Pangkor Island.  Pangkor Island is about a 3 hour drive north from Kuala Lumpur.  We went there for 2 nights while Chris had a day off of work for the holidays.  We parked our car in a town called Lumut.  We took a ferry over to the Pangkor Island Beach Resort.  It dropped us off there and we took a 2 minute bus ride to the resort.  It was very relaxing few days.  We tried many different types of food at the buffet.  Some of our favorites were: spring rolls, banana fritters, chicken and rice with yummy sauces, Malaysian pancakes, baked fish, veggies in garlic sauce, mango pudding, and tons of fresh fruit.  It was amazing how many different people we saw from all over the world.  We heard languages we've never heard before, not even sure what they were.  The kids had fun playing in the sand, kayaking, swimming, catching crabs, and feeding monkeys. They've had a lot of time together over these last few months!!  Only 11 more days and we're heading home.
