Hotel Grand Continental Kuala Lumpur

... The Peronas Twin Towers only sell 1000 tickets a day so left the hotel at 7am to ensure we got some so was very tired, but ti was sooooo worth it. So lucky as it is the first clear day we have had in Malaysia and the views were gorgeous. Also went up the KL Menara Tower which also has beathtaking views all the way around it.<br><br>Walked around some more and ...

... br><br>The bus to the airport was long and listening to Jeffrey Lewis on the way out, watched as the sun set, and the city ambled along at a steady pace into the night. Parts of the city shone out from the dark dividers at regular intervals, here a shopping mall, there a living park of high-rises, and upon arriving, we watched a movie again, made ourselves comfortable and boarded out plane at 6AM the next morning to Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu, down south ey. <br><br ...

... only so much of cities you can do. We don't leave until Thursday and it's a 6 hour bus journey followed by a ferry over to the island.....however I am not sure of the internet connections on the island so don't worry if you don't hear from us for a week or so. <br><br>8th October 2009<br><br>Gary.....<br><br>Have arrived at Mersing only to have missed the tide for the ferry so will need to stay ...

... shopping at the 24 hour Mustafa mall, we packed our bags to return to India. I had booked the airasia flight from Singapore to KL. Air asia is better than some of our full fare airline. 1 hour flight to KL. However, this lands in the LCCT terminal and not at KLIA. Though the runway is same for both these airports, the terminal buildings are connected ONLY by road. The journey via road is 20 kms ride. There are lots of buses plying apart from taxis. We took the bus for MYR 4 ...

... place when she finds (yet) another (bloody) Billabong and accessorize along with a French delicatessen where we stop for brekkie.<br><br>A quick peek at the Twin towers, then grab our bags, bit of blogging, get taxi, go to hotel, rush last bit of blog into small concise sentences cos our time is running out

... vi forlod oeen, fortalte naboen om masser af rotter i hytten paa jagt efter hans mad. Dette var Lone glad for at hoere da vi var paa vej til at forlade oeen.<br>Endnu mere primitivt skulle det dog blive i Taman Negara, nationalparken i Malaysia og en af verdens aeldste regnskove og jungler. Her trekkede (vandretur) vi i 2 dage i junglen med overnatning i en kaempe grotte. Der var godt nok tale om back to the nature, brunt smaaflodsvand blev kogt til madlavning og der ...

... it had its own theme park and malaysia's largets indoor rollercoaster. Exactly how many others there are i dont know but i can believe it was the biggest it was huge. Found a bowling alley i there too. Less than 3 pound for 4 games. I was on fire too scored 158 and 169. Highest bowling scores ever for me i think. Normally happy to getone strike in a game. here i was getting annoyed if i didnt get one!! Tiem killed we went back to the towers, i think we saw them everyday and they ...

... safe to assume not her last. returned to our room - that has the same view as the pool, plus a full kitchen - to get ready for pre-dinner cocktails, dinner, and finally more rooftop luna bar enjoyment. the high life is nice. defo a great way to end the KL experience. tomorrow it's off to the airport; leora starts her journey home and I head off to Penang for a few days to harass all the PMC folk!

... decent coffee in a few weeks. The tour was good to take in the views, though presumably they are better from the sky tower but at RM50 for high tea we flagged that experience. You first had to sit through a really bad Petronas commercial - but hey thats all part of it! The afternoon we headed to the Malaysian craft market which had been recommended by a few people to do our own batik silk painting. What a great way to fill in a few hours, we all did ...
