    I climbed 272 steps to see the Batu Caves

    It's 9.30am and I’m already downstairs having a cup of tea, how is that for promptness. I'm not stopping though as I am busy reading tour leaflets trying to decide on what to do today. Decisions decisions.xx

    Oh what a lovely, fun day I had, thank you to the amusing Monkeys that made my day so enjoyable and comical at the Butu Caves. …

    Today it was time to try and grab some of the elusive local culture at the Museum of Islamic art. The building itself looks quite uninspiring from the outside, while it has some rich and masterfully crafted interiors.
    After yet another bargain (5 MYR entrance price) the museum offered its best right from the beginning, with a beautiful display …

We freshened up and by this time it was 5 …

    The mad city

    We had thought the street map for La Paz was confusing but the street map for Kuala Lumpar is insane. In our rough guide it looks like a childrens doodle book.

    The bus ride to Kuala Lumpur (KL) took around 2 hours and gave us the opportunity to watch an oldie but goldie Bollywood movie. The onward journey onto the hostel was also straight forward on the local tram and monorail - aside from the bloody deadly weight of our rucksacks. I swear you think you are being efficient and carrying the bare minimum …
