The plan pro-forma can be considered as realized in 100%, although not without any minor changes in a chronological order.
Since Kuala Lumpur hasn't charmed us that much, we decided that after visiting Langkawi we won't go back back to KL for one another day. We threw away our return tickets to the capital, however we still stuck to the service of Air Asia - the only thing that was changed was the flight direction - the island of Penang. In this way, during the trip Pingwinek experienced the longest flight of his life (12h Frankfurt - Singapore) and the shortest flight that lasted 25 minutes (Langkawi - Penang). |During the flight, except taking off and landing time, I managed to listen up to 1.5 songs! A strange feeling :)
Malaysian buses have disappointed us a bit. Not in terms of quality (although we tried a both super-vips and super pieces of junk), but in terms of time and logistics solutions. Night buses could easily be caught from major bus stations (... jaya), sorry....bus terminals... :) However from typical tourist places, yes, you could get almost all other tourist sites, BUT only in day time. All in all, because of that we got to know the specific character of Malaysian bus stations by wandering here and there. More about that another time.

Our vacation as usually has massacred us and we came back exhausted. Everything, as usual, has passed faster than a man expects. Pingwinek could travel even longer in this way... finally, they have carried him everywhere ... :)
