    I sit this morning eating breakfast in a different cafe as raos is closed and when the guy asks me my name they say there is a Malaysian song called Fiona. I don't believe them till they play it on the wireless speaker. Think this is going to have to be my Malaysian song. A few minutes later a German guy called Julius comes by and remembers me from Phi Phi back at the beginning of April. He is leaving the island today but is heading in the same direction so no doubt we will bump into each other along the way. A little squirrel comes to join us for breakfast and is one of the timidest I've seen but maybe that's the size of the mango he has to eat. I bid my farewells to julius and head to a shop to try and get my go pro fixed. The charging port has broken and I could really do with fixing it but they can't do it on the island so it will have to wait till Kl. I spend the day planning the rest of my trip there is so much I want to do but now I feel like time is running out and I have started to put certain time restrictions in with wanting to do the Rainforest festival I need to plan my journey to coincide. A little later in the afternoon I head to the beach for a few hours its so hot today and there's no cloud coverage. Its kind of crazy but as much as I want to move on I have definitely fallen in love with this island and its people. There is not one person here who hasn't been kind to me so far in my journey here and as much as I loved Thailand I've definitely fallen in love with Malaysia a little bit more. In the evening I head down to Yellow cafe for a cold beer and to watch the sunset. I'm spoilt tonight because it's one of the best sunsets I've seen here and I am on my own with some time to process my thoughts. Its been a little while since my homesickness has kicked in but the past few days with not feeling well and not a lot of contact makes me want to just book a flight back. I compose myself and decide another early night and good sleep is the best remedy.Baca selengkapnya
