Menara Kuala Lumpur Tower

Da sind wir auch schon im ersten richtig warmen Land. Nach dem komfortablen aber doch auch recht Kräfte zehrenden Flug von Dubai nach KL sind wir sicher im richtig schön-warmen angekommen.

Tag 1:

Puh das war eine Nacht… Nach einer gut 10 Stunden langen Anreise sind wir um ca. 9 Uhr in KL gelandet. Dann gings mit dem …

Up Early, popped down for breakfast by myself. Big buffet, Malay, Indian and Western. Eggs sunny side down, my favourite, unfortunately they were cold. But it was a good breakfast anyway. Then became the massive search for a good camera. I left my Olympus at home, it was in need of a tweak or two and I ran out of time to take it to the shop. It's …

Today we find our way to Time Square which we hear has quite a few shops - what we got was 14 floors of retail goodness and, in part of the 5th floor, there was a theme park :). We decided to have some food before heading to the theme park, now for some reason out here I crave the weirdest things. Today's weird thing is a Wendy's meal, I had a …

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 …

We arrived in Kuala Lumpur mid afternoon, by which time I had a lovely cough, the voice of a man and a blocked up nose. Allie kindly managed to find some throat sweets for me which helped quite a lot. We quickly got to grips with the tube/ monorail service in the city and got our tickets sorted. Our hotel was in Bukit Bintang which was supposed to …

Also den Weg zum Bahnhof hab ich euch ja schon geschildert. Dort angekommen musste ich mir noch die Zeit vertreiben bis mein Zug fuhr, aber an sowas gewoehnt man sich hier schnell. Im Zug hab ich dann ein deutsches Paaerchen aus Freiburg kennen gelernt (also genauer gesagt, ich hab sie angeschwaetzt, weil mein Buch fertig war und ich es …

We arrived at KL with no hitches, & we were going to get the train into the city but from the airport we needed to get a bus & we didn't know where from so decided to get a taxi! We pre paid which was good so we didn't get ripped off! The hostel was right next to Bukit Bintang station but couldn't see the hostel straight away the taxi man …

After yesterday we decided that our first stop today should be to the Petronas Twin Towers before all of the tickets sell out. At a height of 451.9m the Petronas Twin Towers are a world-renowned icon of modern Malaysia and is the world's tallest twin structure at 88 storeys high. We arrived there at 9am to a huge queue and a sign saying that all …

Arrived in an overnight bus from Singapore at 5am to an unfamiliar city to be greeted by hungry taxi drivers and prostitutes. Managed to find my guesthouse though from some much needed help from a fellow traveller. The reggae mansion is an interesting hostel, slightly more expensive than the competition but instead of the standard bunkbed …

When we visited the Petronas Towers, we decided it was only fair to see the KL Tower too, especially as it sits on a hill and boasts good 360-degree views of the city. When we arrive, we are asked to stand in front of a photographic background to have our photo taken. I've never been a fan of posing for photos and this is no exception. It feels …
