    Hello Malaysia

    March 25, 2023 in Malaysia ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    After two long distance flights we arrived in Malaysia - finally. But where's the sun? We are totally happy to be here although it's raining. We knew we have time to grab our backpacks and walk to the next check-in. Finding the check in desk inside the terminal on the other side of the airport was quite confusing. But now we are sitting here, enjoying our first malasyian food while waiting at the gate for our flight to the next destination.

    Noch zwei Langstreckeflüg über Abu Dhabi simmer rechtzittig in Kuala Lumpur acho. Leider aber mit Rege statt Sunne. Nichtsdestotrotz hemmer üs riiichtig gfreut, simmer acho. Wos denn drum gange isch, zum üse nöchsti Flug z sueche, simmer recht verwirrt gsi. Üse Inlandflug startet ufem zweite Terminal. Mitm Bus hemmer da denn erreicht und üsi Rucksäck wieder abgeh.

    March 26, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Early in the morning we've been woken up by the sound the waves. After 24 hours of travelling we really enjoyed to stay the night at the Berjaya Langkawi Resort. But that wasn't the end of our trip. After a huge breakfast buffet we took the taxi to the ferry station. And after 1.5h we arrived at the thai island Koh Lipe. What a beauty ofan island! Refreshing slightly colder water, white beaches and very kind guys. We went to our hotel to drop our packpacks in our bungalow to go see the beach. Our hotel is right next to Sunset Beach. Swimming and diving was on our plan. Then we took a massage to get our body some rest. Because tomorrow will start a little adventure for us.
    ~

    Diving premieres

    March 27, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Today we were spending most of our day on a boat or under water.
    In the morning we got onto our small diving boat and we were driven near a completly empty beach where our diving adventure began. Becca found nemo during the first dives of her open water certificate and Remo did the underwater navigation exercises for his advanced open water course. After two dives we enjoyed our thai lunch on the way back to koh lipe where we both had to study theory for our dive courses.
    During the sunset Remo got into the water for his first night dive. It was an incredible experience to find so much wildlife in the light beams of the flashlights. Shotly before terminating the dive we were covering all flashlights up to discover another miracle in the darkness of the sea. Waving our hands made biolumiscent plankton shine like the sparks of a campfire.
    Last but not least we ended our day together again with a nice dinner on the beach.
    ~
    Hüt hemmer di meisti ziit ufem boot oder under Wasser verbrocht.
    Am Morge simmer vomne chline Tauchboot id nöchi vomne leere Sandstrand brocht worde wo üses Tauchabemtür agfange het. D Becca het de Nemo gfunde währemd ere erste beide Tauchgäng vom Open Water Kurs und de Remo hett under Wasser Navigationsübige für sin Advanced Openwater Kurs gha. Noch zwei Tauchgäng hemmer unterwegs en feine Thai Zmittag gesse. Zrugg au Koh Lipe hend mir denn no d Theorie Lektione gmacht.
    Rechtziitig bim Sunneuntergang isch de Remo abtaucht zu sim erste Nachttauchgang. Es isch e unglaublich schöni erfahrig gsi zum all die Tier im Lichtstrahl vo de Taschelampe z entdecke. Zum Schluss vom Tauchgang sind alli Taschelampe abdeckt worde zum s nögste Wunder vom dunkle Ozean z entdecke. Bim bewege vo üsne Händ hets bioluminiszierends Plankton gha wo glüchtet hend wie d Funke vomne Lagerfür.
    Abgrundet hemmer de wunderschöni Tag zeme mit emne gmüetliche Znacht am Strand.    Read more

    What a beautiful island! But we had a hard and busy timetable for our diving exams. Totally we did 3 exams, owd (Becca) and advanced and nitrox (Remo). The days were packed with physical training under water and theory from 5pm till midnight. Our last dive, we finally did together and enjoyed stonehenge reef. And what an experience! We saw morays, seahorses, clownfish also known as Nemo ;), jellyfish, pufferfish and many more. Those are memories we will never forget!
    We have not only had delicious food but also met awesome people!
    A BIG thank you goes to Eric and Coco, our diving instructors from Ko Lipe Diving School!!! We can highly recommend this school as they are very professional, experienced, and super friendly.
    Our last evening at the island was spend with eating tasty food and planning the next stops on our trip.

    So schö wie d Insle Koh Lipe isch, hemmer e straffe Plan gha, damit mer üsi Tauchkürs abschlüsse hend chöne. Noch insgesamt 3 Täg voller Lerne hend mer beidi üsi Kürs abgschlosse.

    Taxi, ferry, taxi, ferry & sometimes bus

    March 30, 2023 in Malaysia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Our next destination is Georgetown Penang. But the way from Koh Lipe island to Gorgetown Penang was long and due to multiple delays complicated to plan. Our trip as follows:
    - short taxi drive from our hotel to the beach at Koh Lipe
    - 2h ferry from Koh Lipe to Langkawi Telaga Harbour
    - 45min drive with the taxi to the other side of the island, exactly to Kuah Jetty
    - a 2h ferry to Kuala Kedah
    - arrived at the mainland malaysia we took a taxi, again :), to the bus terminal Alor Setar
    - while waiting for the taxi we spoke to an malaysian woman. On the ceiling we spotted a little light grey lizzard. She told us the name of the little one is Cicak in malaysian.
    - at 9.45pm our bus to penang sentral startet and we used the time to get some rest
    - with a grab taxi we drove from the penang sentral to our hotel in Georgetown Penang
    After 13 hours of travelling we finally layed in our bed. It was 1am in the morning and we were really happy to sleep.
    ~
    Üses nöchste Ziel heisst Georgetown Penang. Doch de Weg vo de Insle Koh Lipe noch Georgetown Penang hets uf sich. Am 12i am Mittag zu de Ziit vo Thailand simmer los greist.

    Day 8

    First big City of our Tour

    March 31, 2023 in Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    From the little peaceful island now switched into a big busy city. Our morning started with a tour around our quarter of streetart at every corner. We saw many diffrent styles and also one artpiece, which was similar to Banksy (made by Ernest Zacharevic). We walked further to Fort Cornwallis, which is a bastion fort, built by the British East India Company in the late 18th century. The next stop was the Botanical Garden. Flowers, trees and so many monkeys. Aside a water lily pond we took a little rest from the heat. After the break we decided to go on top of the penang hill by train. Fun fact: the first version of the train was a copy of one from switzerland. The second and 3rd generations of trains were built in switzerland.
    ~
    Was für en Kultur-Schock. Vo de chline Insle Koh Lipe noch Georgetown simmer grad es bitzeli überrumplet worde. Noch dem mer aber usgschlofe hend, simmer bi üs im Viertel d Streetarts go bestuhne. Uffallend isch gsi, es het viel verschiedeni Stil gha und au Ahuchige an Banksy.
    Witer hets üs denn zude Fort Cornwallis zoge, enere alte Festig, womer unter anderem d Kanone vo sebre Ziit gseh hend. Dos mega heiss worde isch nochem Mittag, hemmer denkt, mer wönd chli in Botanische Garte go d Rueh und de Schatte vode Bäum gnüsse. Ame herzige Seerose Teich hemmer denn chöne es Päuseli mache. Use nöchsti Stop isch de Penang Hill gsi. S Idrückliche devo isch gsi, dass di ersti Standseilbahn vo do abglueget worde isch vode Schwiiz und die zweit Generation baue worde isch durch d Schwiiz. De Tag hemmer denn mitme feine Znacht und guete Drinks.    Read more

    Fly little butterfly

    April 1, 2023 in Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    Just a relaxing day today. As we saw there is a butterfly farm, we thought we have to see those little things. We grabed our daily backpacks and went to a coffee shop for a coffee and a matcha latte. Arrived at the farm they explained us the life circle of butterflies. Within more than 1.5h we have seen butterflys, lizzards and many more little animals. On the way back we made a stop at a ramadan bazar. Where every afternoon during ramadan they cook in front of you at a take away service for dinner in the evening. As we spoke to them and they recommended us some of the local food. Back at the hotel we couldn't wait! The food was so delicious! After that tasty dinner we went for a walk in our quartier and enjoyed the warm evening.
    ~
    Hüt hemmers sehr gmüetlich gno. Womer gseh hend, dass uf dere Insle e Schmetterlingsfarm git, hemmer üs denkt, da wömer gseh. Mer hend üsi sache packt, en Kafi resp en Matcha Latte trunke und sind denn los gange. Am Afang hend üs es bitz über d Lebensphase vode Schmetterlin verzellt. Denoh hemmer denn dörfe Schmetterling, wo gest Nacht bis hüt Morge gschlüpft sind, freiloh. Es sehr spannends Erlebnis gsi. Noch über 1.5h Rundgang hemmer sooo viel verschiedeni Schmetterling, wie au Echse und anderi Insekte gseh. Ufem Weg retour zu üsem Quartier hemmer en Stop gmacht bimne Ramadan Bazar. Det hends s Esse für de Obig verchauft. Gwundrig simmer natürli go luege gange und hend denn s eint und s ander au no mitgno.
