 Kelantan blue rice - we were a bit wary of this one, but it is coloured with essence from blue flowers rather than indigo469E.

 Kota Bahru morning markets, this picture shows about 1/20 of the market. Lots of fruit & veg we have never seen before.

Back in KL

 Here's some good news for once!

In Kota Bahru, some weather on its way.

PIR 7/7/16

 A massive 60cm Black Tip shark

A nice afternoon storm actually cooled the temperature down. For once it wasn't ridiculously hot.

Perhentian Island PIR 5 July 2016

So we booked a garden view room (which translates as 'you cannot see the beach') Our room wasn't ready at check-in, so they put us in a beachfront deluxe room. I was furious!!!

 Turtle doesn't care about anything

 Deadly hot thali & lemon rice

 cool down with badam milk (almond)

 view from the hotel pool, where we had a nice swim

My awesome $10 mustache shirt
postscript - This shirt has proven to be somewhat of a hit. Suddenly the hotel staff try to get me into taxis (I guess people in this kind of shirt don't walk), waiters smile and make jokes (usually they are quite stiff & surly), an old man, wearing an equally awful shirt, ran up to shake my hand in the street and service in general from banks to 7-11s has improved considerably. I seem to have unwittingly joined some kind of secret club.
