KL

Day 42

The coffee here is potent! I don't know how we are ever going to be able to make do with a normal caffine hit after a month of drinking the caffine sugar explosion which is serves as coffee here in Asia. It certainly gets you going in the morning.

This could well be our last though as we sipped on one at 6am before getting a lift to the airport to fly to KL.

We arrived at KL LCCT in no time at all checking a couple of places for accomodation before scoring a smart little boutique hotel with no windows. We then took a stroll in the general direction of the Petronas Towers which, when built, was the tallest building in the world. It has since been overtaken a number of times but still boasts the highest walkway which you can walk across for free. The catch is you normally have to get up at the crack of and queue for a ticket and a timeslot. We cheekily asked the doorman if we could sneak into the next timeslot and he kindly let us through.

We then walked back to our accomodation via a park, a bar and a bucket of Tiger, a shopping mall, an amazing eatery at a streetside seafood set up and an Irish bar showing the Ashes.
