A whole day devoted to my GoPro

Today has been a long day! My GoPro camera stopped charging while in Thailand and we tried another lead but it still wouldn't work so we were worried something was really wrong with the camera and this being our first proper city we decided now is the time to sort it out. I found a place that repairs the cameras so our plan was to head there and try and get things sorted before heading to see the iconic twin towers. Firstly we headed to the mall near us for some brunch and a look around. We've seen our first mall with a roller coaster in it! We arrived at the mall where the shop is listed after getting the monorail and walking there. We entered into a strange Islamic supermarket and shopping area and searched everywhere for this shop asking many people. After about a hour of looking and ending up in the busiest clothing store in the world we thought the address must be wrong. We found a Starbucks and went on WiFi to check the address. After some probing and research we found out the mall this shop was originally in has permanently closed and the Islamic shops have replaced it. It was pretty gutting to come all this way to not be any closer to sorting my camera out. Luckily we found another branch of the store and checked the mall it was in to be double sure it still existed. We caught a taxi there and at this point it was late afternoon because we'd allowed ourselves a lie in this morning. We found the shop and the woman didn't seem to know too much about the camera. She tried another battery but even that wouldn't consistently charge. We then asked her to try another cable and adapter and this seemed to work thankfully! We may have only needed the wire but we decided to get the adapter too as it would come in handy and it may be the combination that work. Fingers crossed that is all it is and the camera isn't broken. Afterwards we didn't feel like doing anything else so we found somewhere in this mall to eat. It was a disappointing meal but at least it was food at this point. We ended the night with some shopping before heading back to the hotel. We didn't get back until 9.30 so it's likely to be another late night. Hopefully we can get an early night tomorrow as it's making us very tired in the day! A not so exciting first day in Malaysia!Leer más
