We finally saw the towers!

We're leaving Kuala Lumpur tomorrow and we haven't actually got round to planning our next step. Very last minute indeed! We spent the morning researching and booking accommodation to Penang. After looking into several bus companies we were struggling to find a bus service that begins at an easily accessible location and after a while we discovered we could get a train from the main station to Penang for not much more than the bus costs. Rather than booking online in case we had to print our tickets we decided to visit the station instead and book directly. After a long wait we booked our tickets and then boarded a train to visit the Batu Caves. A holy site where they have built temples inside the caves. The area was quite run down and there's a lot of building works going on. In many ways the temples ruined the beautiful caves because they looked poorly made and so many building materials were left all over the place. The caves themselves were so impressive though it's just a shame that you can't enjoy them completely as they formed. There were many monkeys on the steps leading up to the caves which were taking full advantage of the tourists, we even saw one steal a brand new bottle of 7-up and enjoy slurping the bubbles. Not the healthiest of diets! After the caves we headed back to the central station and had one last Nandos for tea, we've really put a lot of money into this place recently! After a bit of shopping we headed to KLCC station where the Petronas Twin Towers are situated, apparently the tallest twin towers in the world. We spent a good half an hour messing around with angles and posses until we got some half decent non blurry photos. It seems to be the place you have to visit if you're in Kuala Lumpur. By the time we left it was quite late and we got back to discovered that someone has been put into a room in our apartment. Not really the private room we booked when we're having to tip toe around to use the bathroom but oh well we are leaving tomorrow.Lue lisää
