We spent one day visiting the Batu Caves, where basically, you walk up a few million steps and enter a cave that that smells like the toilet of the Auld Dubliner at 3am on a Saturday. There were cute monkeys all over the place who tried to rob, scratch and bite you as you trekked the giant staircase in 40 degree heat.
It was good to see though, and it had the tallest Buddha in the world if you're interested? No? Us neither, we're not great sight see-ers to be honest. We do it all like, but its a bit of a chore :) would love an ol' open top bus to take you around and do it all in one day.
We were a bit tired after all of our adventuring over the past few weeks so it didn't help when we got off on the wrong stop on the monorail on the way back from the bat caves and got totally lost. That evening, we had a giant feast at the hawker stalls in Chinatown - best tasting food of the trip so far! Amazing curries and bits and bobs! YUM! Well deserved after all those steps. It's cooked in the filthiest looking places but once you turn off your OCD (Brian) and forget the surroundings, it tastes delicious!
The next day we went to see the Petronas Towers. They were really cool big twin buildings. Brian interviewed for a job as Head Bouncer there and just lost out to Tommy Lee Jones who clinched it cos he knew all the words to Men in Black.
It was great in KL, but 3 days was enough. It was mental busy and while everything was pretty cheap, alcohol was more expensive than Ireland as its a Muslim country so there's loads of tax on booze. It cost the equivalent of €10 a drink there!
We had already had a mad two weeks travelling so were dying to get to Langkawi island to relax for a few days!
