Central Market Kuala Lumpur

Our last breakfast banquet and I took my fill of Indian, albeit exercising some moderation and then when we went up to our room to pack up I got that you know feeling that all was not well. I will spare the details but my breakfast came up and out and I felt quite unwell for the rest of the day.

I had constant nausea and that in a place …

We took our time getting to breakfast this morning which is on level 22 this morning in the skylouge. It is another buffet breakfast, however it doesn't have the spread of the Park Royal breakfast. There was enough variety to keep us going and we fueled up for the day.

We decided to complete the hop on hop off bus tour to get to the bird …

We had a busy 4 days in KL! We decided to book a hotel online this time, so we wouldn't have the hassle of walking around with our backpacks in the big city. The bus dropped us off in Chinatown where our hotel was, but Chinatown is big and it took us an hour to find the hotel - the locals pointed us in several different directions and we were going …

This morning we slept in (9am is a sleep in) and took our time getting ready and heading for breakfast. Today we were going to give the KL Hop On Hop Off bus ago, it's a double decker bus that travels around the city and stops at 22 different tourist hot spots. It is about $12 a ticket which lasts for 24hrs, you hop on at one of the 22 stops and …

After a sweet 10.5 hour plane ride (actually 45 min early too), arrived in K.L at 10:00pm on Tues 28 Feb. Hanim and her mum picked us up from the airport and came back to Hanim's condo. Super shattered, so chatted for a bit and got to sleep at midnight. You sleep with Air Con overnight as humidity is extreme. Up at 6:45am! Ben had a cold shower ( …

I was really glad to be back in a big city again. I still wasn't feeling amazing and the bus journey was a bit of a challenge, but we met some nice french guys and played a few games of cards so it wasn't too bad overall. We had booked into serenity hostel in the backpacker area, but when we got there we found it was above a bar that was being …

After recovering from our mammoth journey yesterday we grabbed a map of KL and decided to do our normal and have a walk around the city. This was easier said than done here as the maps and signs are not that clear and all the road names are very similar so soon we were walking in circles (no it wasn't due to my map reading skills!).

We …

We were dropped off in Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur around 1ish and the sun was shining. We walked over to our hostel and just as we got through the door the heavens opened! The rain didn't stop all day. We ventured out to grab some lunch and the road had turned to a river, it was so bad that we couldn't really do anything so we chilled out in the …

We happily rise early the next morning in preparation for our flight from Delhi to Kuala Lumpur and John takes the kiddies for a swim while I set about packing our bags. We leave Delhi with barely a backward glance, happy to make it through the smog and into bright blue sky above the white clouds. Our flight is a fairly short one (5½ hours) …
