I....Ipoh

An early start as the vintage market starts quite early. Fuelled with Laksa we headed to Ipoh to find the market.

As we explored the market we saw some interesting things we had not seen for a while. Old records, grammar phones and loads of other old things left over from when Malaysia was a British colony. Around the market there were a few stalls selling modern items and even fish. We looked in a few pet shops but we didn't like the way some of the animals looked.

We took refreshments at a small stall. Drinks, durian and a mix of other small treats including Chinese dumplings. Following our mini lunch break we went to the Kek Look Tong Chinese temple, hidden in a huge limestone cave. There were lots of stalagmites and stalactites, a beautiful garden and fish. The fish were in picturesque ponds where they kept the small turtles and ducks company.

Next stop was a local supermarket to stock up on food for the next few days. We visited a 2 Ringit shop, a bit like Poundland but everything is 40p.

We watched a Johnny English movie, made some military models from a cardboard set and ate delicious quick chicken soup.
