From Bali, we flew to Kuala Lumpur, but only spent one night there before catching a bus for the Cameron Highlands, an elevated and cool rainforest area in the center of peninsular Malaysia. There we stayed in Tanah Rata, a little town with fantastic Indian food, cheap rooms, fun hiking trails, and, crucially, cable tv to watch the election results! It was also, I should mention, so cool as to be downright cold at night, a welcome change from the last several months of sweating we'd been doing.
Pierce and Hannah met back up with us in Tanah Rata, and we celebrated Obama's victory along with the manager, the cook, and the driver, all of whom were delighted... at our giddy excitement, if nothing else!
Bart and Sabine, our Belgian friends from Yogyakarta, met up with us as well, and despite the wet weather, we managed to squeeze in some great hikes.
There we are with a whole crew from the guesthouse, in the middle of an afternoon of hiking in the rainforest. 
That night we taught everyone how to play texas hold 'em :)
The next day we headed further up into the hills to check out a tea plantation, racing against both the rain and our afternoon bus to the coast.
