We headed out at about noon after enjoying toast, bread and a bucketful of tablets for breakfast.
Our first stop off was at the Pretonas Towers. We were surprised that the bridge between the two towers was only a third of the way up!! Bit boring really. The photo's make the towers look like some sort of evil Wizards towers. A black cloud passed overhead just as I took the photo's - looks really spooky. The day was very hot though, so it was all a bit confusing.
We started feeling a bit rough already, and hungry, but we still don't really have an appetite - we think the tablets are causing this.
We decided to persevere and headed off to the KL Tower. This is Kuala Lumpur's TV Tower or Sky Tower - you get the idea. Apparently it's the 4th largest TV Tower in the World. To us, it looked like a big ball hanging in the sky!
We decided to go up to the ball anyway (about 276 meters) to get some good views of Kuala Lumpur. Got to say that the views are fantastic - you can see everything in Kuala Lumpur (better than Petronas). The good thing was, you got a free individual audio tour at the top, pointing out all the sights etc. We paid RM20 (£3) to get up the tower, but it was worth every penny for the 360 degree views of Kuala Lumpur! Good stuff. We did a few photo's from up here, including us looking geeks in our audio gear!
From up the tower, we actually saw where the Hard Rock Café was. We worked out a route from up the tower.....and it made no sense to us at all when we got to the bottom!!
We did manage to find the Hard Rock though, but it was closed for refurbishment! There was actually a side door open down the side alley, so we managed to get in and buy our shot glass - excellent!
We were getting a bit weak by now so headed back towards the guesthouse. On the way we succumbed to a burger for lunch. With our appetites being shot, it was the only thing we actually fancied. We really enjoyed it - and didn't throw it back up.
We had another walk around Times Square before going back to the guesthouse. We then got the bus booked to go to Singapore on Monday. It leaves at 9.30am and takes about 5 to 6 hours.
We then watched a movie before sleep kicked in again.
