Over the last few days, as mentioned, I've been waiting for the passport application to arrive, and as I hadn't received any notification from e passport office, I obtained the tracking code from Gordon, and all I could garner from that, was that the mail was still in transit. I called the passport office to find out anyway as I felt it had been more than long enough, and sure enough, they had received the documents already, and processed the application, dispatching the replacement on the 14th of June.
This meant I was free to contiue my travels, and so I booked a bus up to Ipoh to go and visit the cave temples and with options to Cameron Highlands. I had already paid for a further night in Suzies though so I set everything up for travel on the 17th
