Back to Kuala Lumpur

Our day begins with a bus to the ferry terminal in Georgetown. Our train to KL from Butterworth departs at 12:45 and until we are on it I’m a little anxious. The bus takes about half an hour. We miss the 11:00 ferry, the next one is 11:30.

We have just enough time when we reach Butterworth to grab a quick lunch then make the ten minute walk to the station, only to discover the train is delayed by about 10 minutes which means a train full of waiting passengers crammed into and overflowing from a waiting room until we are permitted onto the platform.

The journey is around four hours and very smooth and comfortable. We arrive in Kuala Lumpur by 5:00 and attempt to find our way to our accommodation. Google maps doesn’t make it easy, it’s drizzling but we get there eventually.

The apartment is beautiful! Our view is straight out onto Little India although we haven’t realised this yet. We head out for dinner and literally stumble from our building straight into Brickfields.Read more
