New Year

Don't have a lot of time, but a quick update that Nate and I had a very lively time in Kuala Lumpur on New Year's Eve in which we probably walked well over 15 miles all over the city to catch all the millions of people celebrating across the city.
The next day we woke up early to catch a bus to Melaka, an old historic city once taken over at different times by the Dutch, Portuguese and British, resulting in quite a mix of peoples and architectural styles. We've been here for the last five days, which should say a lot about how much we enjoy this city.
Tomorrow morning we wake up very early to walk a few miles to the bus station, then catch a bus to Singapore where we'll spend two days before catching a ferry to Batam, a small island just off Singapore that is part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, from where we'll fly to Jakarta, a short hour and a half flight away.
Happy New Year to everyone.
Love,
B
