bushpig 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Goin to a place called Kuredu. Not taking the boards, but will be doing plenty of snorkelling. Spook was talking about the Maldives for surf a while back. Might have to see about renting some boards if we see some decent surf nearby. Otherwise just relaxing, swimming and snorkelling Link to post Share on other sites

bushpig 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hehe. Yeah but don't wanna be lugging the boards around Malaysia with us and into the jungle... Link to post Share on other sites

spook 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 yeah, i'd imagine you can get a bodyboard at a resort pretty easily. whack on some snorkelling flippers and at least you can get some waves if the resort isn't a surfing resort it might be a drama trying to go surfing,and expensive to arrange a boat, but you should at least try and see if it is possible. be a shame to not get a wave while you're over there Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 yeah, well we'll see what happens. Would be nice, but it isn't the main priority for going there. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 yeah best to take some DEET cream out with you, because you can't get in Malaysia (or I couldn't, I searched high and low). All their repelent has some herbal mixture in it. RE the electrical fly swatter, check out 100 yen shops, they usually sell them Link to post Share on other sites

spook 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 not sure if this info is too late for you bushy but i went and saw a travel doc yesterday: - doxycylene is fine to take for extended periods. many teenagers take this for up to 12-18 months for acne with no major side effects. however your sensitivity to sunlight is increased. some people also get naseous. taking this daily while in malaria prone areas reduces your chances of contracting malaria by 95% - malarone is good, but prohibitively expensive to take daily as a drug to reduce your chances of contracting malaria. each pill costs about $AUS9 - the other option is to not take any drugs, but be super diligent in covering up at all times, using bug spray with a minimum of 30% DEET, sleeping under nets etc etc. if you do get malaria like symptoms, then begin a 3 day course of malarone (4 pills once per day) while getting yourself to a hospital we are going with option 3. hopefully we never have to munch the malarone pills. my mates who have had malaria have some horror stories enjoy your trip Link to post Share on other sites
