Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

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 …

After arriving in Kuala Lumpur late in the evening, I opted to stay in a Lonely Planet recommended hostel rather than looking around for something else. In previous experience, I have come to notice that almost all Lonely Planet featured accommodation will normally put its price up after publication, this is normally due to the fact of increased …

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 …

I thought the Batu Caves could not be bettered in our last 2 days in Kuala Lumpur but I was proven wrong by KL Bird Park. This sprawling bird-park feeds the wanderlust within with its impressive variety of bird-life set within a beautifully landscaped rain-forest. It caught us both by surprise. We just thought we could burn a few hours there in the …

We arrived in the afternoon which gave us time to see the local area including Petaling street. In the evening we used the metro to get to the Petronus towers. The metro station lets you in to the huge shopping center at the bottom of the two towers there is even a Marks and Spencers where we bought some proper chocolate. The best chocolate we had …

Wir haben den Tag heute etwas lockerer angehen lassen. Erstmal mussten wir auch auschecken, da wir am Abend nach Australien fliegen und dann wollten wir im Internet noch etwas Arbeit, wie Wohnungssuche usw. erledigen. Wir sitzen also 3 Stunden im Starbucks und brechen dann zum Kuala Lumpur Bird Park auf. Es ist der groesste Freiflug Vogelpark der …

When I was planning the trip, I decided to buy all my airline tickets from the comfort of my home, way before we arrived in SE Asia.

At that time, when I was booking them for the leg Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (KL) with AirAsia (I know I could have traveled by bus) the ticket was so cheap that I also added the option of food in the plane. …

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 …

Day 3
Putrajaya – KL's Heritage Sites + Tropical Enclave Area - Chinatown

Yeayyy, this was the third day. Having a very good sleep last night, I woke up this morning with fresh body, mind and soul, hahaha. Today’s plan based on our itinerary is visiting Putrajaya, the new federal administrative capital, which is also …

... good overall impression of the city. This allowed us to plan for upcoming day trips. One of our first was to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park. The Bird Park houses more than 5000 birds (or more than 50 species) of birds in an enclosed aviary. Out of these 5000 ...

The overnight train to Kuala Lumpur, or KL as most people refer to it, was an absolute nightmare. The single saving grace was that it was relatively cheap and meant that we didn't have to pay for accommodation that night. The journey started on the wrong ...
