Around 360 kms from KL is the drive to a lovely place called Penang, there r flights too frm LCCT but u can drive its a lovely drive

There are several beaches u can choose the one u like to stay closest to we chose tanjung bungah it was abt 6 kms away from batu ferringhi the happening beach n also the night market which penang is famous for..

several places to visit including the toy museum, if u just wanna see toys, or the sleeping buddha temple, or the kek lok si temple, the penang hill train is not operational now until may, rennovation so we can expect something much better soon.........

Approx 250 kms away from KL is a place called pangkor island, u have to reach Lumut n then take a ferry n reach there it takes approx 3.5 hrs to drive n 30 min max for the ferry.

This is a weekend getaway place n there are plenty of beach sports available.........must go if u love adventure sports n snorkelling.........the water is crystal clear, much better then langkawi

Around 265 kms from KL is a Cameroon Highlands, very scenic n beautiful, pls caryy loads of mints if u r road sick as they r serpentile n blind turns ......excellent weekend getaway.

There are plenty of places to visit like Boh Tea plantation, Gunung - highest place in Malaysia, Bee farm, Cactus valley, hand picking of strawberries (there are various farms), Choclate Factory, Night Market etc the sad part is is everything closes at 4.30 so we must plan wisely....

The feeling is as if we live are amidst the mountains.....ideal for newly weds
