The Metro hotel provided a full buffet breakfast that catered for a lot of nationalities and cultures including Muslim, Indian, Chinese and European.

After pigging out and having multiple servings they left to catch the mono-rail to Kuala Lumpur central from where they would make their way to Batu caves. They had to overcome several obstacles such as using the wrong ticket machines and running out of cash they finally managed to make it to the caves.

The caves were spectacular and they managed to climb the 270 steps comfortably. The were many monkeys around the steps who seemed comfortable to mingle with the tourists.

After generating a healthy appetite from the climb Nige & June took off to China town and found a nice local Chinese canteen for dim sum and siopao. Kuala Lumpur’s china town’s a good place to go for eating and shopping.
Nige & June were so impressed by the food they stopped off for a second early lunch of wanton & beef noodles.

After that they stopped off for a coffee at Starbucks and Nige spotted a couple of guys chasing a girl. She managed to make it into the Starbucks just and the two guys stopped then casually walked away. The poor girl was shaken up and told the staff what had happened.

Nige & June then caught the subway to Kuala Lumpur CC to see the Petronas Towers. They had a fine view from the park and June got to chance to bath her feet in a pool and drink warm water.

Time was then running out, for their late hotel checkout was for 6pm. June was so impressed by the roast pork that she wanted more so they ate at a local Chinese street restaurant.

After that they went straight to the airport and cofficed from a cafe for several hours before checking in at just before mid-night. At check-in they were warned they would have to pay penalties if their luggage was over 60 kgs. June’s luggage came to 31.1kgs but Nige saved the day with his luggage weighing at 28.9 kgs which came to 60.0 exactly.

Nige & June then gave a sleepy vlog goodbye at midnight just before catching their flight.

They arrived at about 12:45pm and were impressed by the size of the new terminal.

The plan was for Nige to change his 25 year old travel cheques at the airport and they would use that money for their time in Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately none of the banks would accept his $US travel cheques so they had to resort to their Australian dollars. They did not realise at the time but this would be a good thing. Read the arrive in Japan episode.

Kuala Lumpur airport is about 65 kms from the city centre and takes just over one hour.

They were staying at the Metro hotel and were pleasantly surprised to get an upgrade to a family room.

After Nigel did his customarily room tour vlog, they headed over to Lot 10 the food court for they had not eaten much during the day.

At Lot 10 Nige prepped the vlog and while walking around the food court they were stopped by security and told to turn the video phone off. After that several security guards which Nige & June while the were in the food court. Nige & June had some roasted pork & duck with rice then moved on to Jalan Alor.

Jalan Alor is a night market and starts to wake up from 6pm onwards but some of the stalls are open earlier.

Nige & June found a place to have some dim sum, and then headed over to a yakitori stand for some yakitori’s and beer.

They then started to fade and called it quits and headed back to the hotel for an early night.
