Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
All that lazing around for five days set us up nicely for a few more adventures, so by air from Krabi, back to Bangkok and then down to Kuala Lumpur. The highlight has to be the Petronas Towers - they really are magnificent.
We thought we would also try some retail therapy too, having been advised that KL is cheaper than Singapore... and it is! But we really liked KL. Very impressed by the cleanliness, the helpfulness and the shopping malls! Girls.... we must arrange a whole week's trip to do the girly bits, since we finished up spending most of our pennies on electronic/technology stuff... essential, but a tiny bit boring. Better to be looking at clothes, bags and shoes and jewellery... not just designer, even M&S!
Petronas Towers - by day and night
We queued up for tickets to do the sky bridge walk. We were there at 8.30 am, reached the front of the queue at 9.30 and spent that hour chatting to a lovely young couple from France, Cathy & Nicholas. Our time slot was 11.45 and by that time all the tickets were gone for the day!The sky bridge is two stories deep and links the twin towers in case of emergencies and provides access at the 41/42 floor. The towers are 88 stories high. Fantastic views and for those of us that are vertically challenged surpisingly manageable.
All that shopping called for a drink and we found a great road with every variety of pub/restaurant from every nation! Finished up spending much of our drinking time in the Rum Jungle, but our own hotel - the Crowne Plaza had good restaurants, bars and live jazz at night, so Doug was happy!
We thought the signage for the "rest rooms" at the Rum Jungle
was novel.
