The entire archipelago has been designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark, located in the Andaman Sea and consists of almost a hundred karst limestone islands with a fascinating history and strong mythology. The islands seem to be floating legends surrounded by blue water.

Winter on the Beach in Malaysia
We don’t do winters anymore.
Yes, winter can be cozy by the fireplace, with fleecy pj’s, furlined moccasins and a good book. But in winter it’s cold outside, it rains and rains so we don’t want to walk. We can’t do much if any gardening. And sometimes we even have to shovel snow on Salt Spring. But this time we ended up on a white beach in Malaysia…
Magical Malaysia: from Temples to Fireflies
It’s a long way from Vancouver to Kuala Lumpur, but our flights were worse than normal. First we flew to San Francisco. There we waited for the flight to Hong Kong. It boarded on time but then the pilot announced that strong headwinds made it impossible to cross the Pacific Ocean straight for Hong Kong. Instead, we had to follow land: Canada, Alaska, Siberia and China… But it was all worth it.
