Kuala Lumpur

Only a couple of days here, but I made sure I saw the main bits.

First night in my hotel was fun, checked in after midnight, on floor 36.. yet I get ready for bed to then see a cockroach on the floor. Managed to kill it but of course put we on high alert and though I was sleepy beforehand suddenly I wasn’t. Took a long while to relax and sleep but managed it. In the morning I found another! As I walked out of the room there was a cleaner so pulled him in to show the dead one on the floor. He said they come up the shower drains! The aircon was also alittle warm for me, they fixed the room and cleaned it and didn’t get anymore though did put a towel over the drain and below the shower screen incase lol

Petronas Twin Towers

KL Tower

KL tower is 421 metres tall, was a lovely view and there was two glass sky boxes, which weren’t as scary as I thought.

Hotel View and pool

Hotel had an infinity pool on the 37th floor, didn’t stay in long as it was actually pretty cold.

Bata Caves

Really liked the Bata Caves, walked up the 272 steps to the top! There were monkeys though! The same kind as Bali and they were just as sneaky, a woman had a plastic bag and then monkeys pounced on her to take it. She was demanding her husband to get it back and he just stood there. Don’t blame him to be fair, no way I’d fight with a monkey.

Batik Textiles

They showed me the technique of batik, he drew free hand with hot wax. When you add the colour, it doesn’t bleed but stays in the lines. Once finished, it is washed in a solution that melts wax and leaves white lines. I brought a top which I hope to show you when i’m Thailand.

Deerland

Deerland was a small family zoo, got to feed the deers sweet potato. Look round the other animals they had, alot of pheasants. They has snakes and one was out ready for people to have photos with, clearly it was a no from me. In a photo above you can see the daughter stroking it like it’s rabbit or cat.

Elephant Sanctuary 🐘

Did enjoy the elephant sanctuary. However, they put on a little show, and the trainers were riding the elephants, which made me super uncomfortable, but other than that, it does look like they look after them.

Silver-leafed Monkeys

I was still scared of the Monkeys but told then Silver-leafed Monkeys are not like the black/green ones. We watched other people feed them and walked to the lighthouse.

Fireflies boat trip

Last up was a boat trip to see the fireflies, my expectation was alittle high for this one as I’d assume they would be flying around the boat but instead they were in the trees along the river like Christmas tree lights. We caught a couple of the boat and I held one in my hand. So tiny! Clearly the photos didn’t come out well but here is one lol
