6th Oct 2012

Spent the beginning of the day trying to find sta travel to book the next stage of our travels- the Perhentians - had a boost for brekkie on the way. Very sunny and humid.

When we finally found it they were so unhelpful, left and realised that as a Saturday most travel agents close at 12.30 and was quarter past, fortunately stumbled across bubu office who were very helpful and we booked for 4nights.

Next came the long journey to perdu bus station to buy our overnight coach ticket for tomorrow.

We then thought we would have to go all the way into KL again to get bus to batu caves but luckily realised the train from perdu goes so 20mins in air con train! Had ladies only coaches!

Batu caves are Hindu temple. Have to walk up 272 steep steps to get there. We were sweaty by the top that's for sure!! Caves had stalagmites and were beautiful and had monkeys on the steps. Also loads of Hindu temples and statues and a constant background music of one Hindu song.

Then train back into KL, we thought we could walk back towards home! Got lost and were sweaty and hot and feet hurting by the end but managed to get back after venturing through little India and little china. I had black feet!

Back to butik bingdang for dinner again. Went to same place waw as soooo nice yesterday and had gorgeous BBQ pork. Then walked over to traders hotel opposite pertronas towers for a drink in sky bar- very posh place with views of towers and a pool in the centre of the room!

Also booked flight to Borneo for the day we return from Perhentians.Read more
