For a personal pizza it's really quite rude

KL was awesome, went up the Menara Tower which is the fifth highest radio tower in the world. Visited the Petronas towers but didn't go up them as we never rose early enough to get on the free tickets. That maybe attributed to the snakebite and hoegaarden pints that we drank almost every night - a rarity in SE Asia, well a first time find!!

After KL we took a flight to Tawau then mini vanned it to Semporna which is a shit heap of a place that is the gateway to the Sipadan Islands (in the top ten dive sites of the world). We have completed our first dive today and saw loads of Turtles, Clownfish (Nemo), Bannerfish (Jack, Off Finding Nemo), Anemome Cleaner Shrimp (Finding Nemo Again!). One might say it's like being in a live Finding Nemo!

We're off to Mabul (another dive area in the Celebes Sea) tomorrow and althought the waiting list to dive around Sipadan Island itself is over 6 months, we're laying in wait for a cancellation! In the mean time we'll discover more of the surrounding islands!!!
