Looks like you've overcome a lot of challenges over the past few days as it is totally out of character for you to have to walk'! I expect you'll meet a lot of tourists in Bali at this time, obviously as you said tourist industry is in decline since 2002 but I have heard of a lot of people visiting there on their way to Thailand or as a "holiday" for a small period of time while volunteering in those parts. Great to hear you have been receiving such great hospitality although I am sure the police and the gawkers are annoying to say the least. Hope your foot stats on the right track! Keep it up. Serena :) Hi Tony, another great read. Looks like you’ve overcome a lot of challenges over the past few days as it is totally out of character for you to have to walk’!

I agree I am in Malaysia until the 14th and I feel your decision to go up the east coast the correct one as KL I found while the people are friendly enough in spite of the reportedly high crime rate. KL is just freeways criss crossing the city and country and it would bee difficult running as the lanes on the outside is full of motor cycles that travel fast and also the highway cuts off so much of the normal roads so you would be constantly looking for ways to work around The police here seem to be strict about being on them on foot I have posted your stuff to Thailand Michael Hi Tony
