We left KL the next morning and got a coach to the state of Perak, then got a rickety minibus and a boat to our next stop, the island of Sukasuka in a man made lake created by damming a river to stop the royal town flooding further down. We stayed in cabins with a family who own the Island.
After being in KL for a couple of days and Singapore for quite a few days, it was really really quiet here and felt very remote. There were lots of mozzies around as well so we had to load up on the insect repellent and sleep with mosquito nets, which I was sure I would end up with my head sticking out of in the morning and bitten to pieces.
The huts did have electicity and toilet so it wasn't too basic though hot water and air conditioning was notably missing and it was a very sticky first night. Plus there were lots of bumps in the night including the Ghekos, which make noises like someone is knocking on the door and a very noisy bullfrog. We also had the the guest below in our cabin the first night.
