Arrived Safely

I write this post from our AirBnB booked accommodation right in the heart of KL. The position is ideal with no more than a 10 minute walk to one of the favorite eating haunts,Jalan Alor. The photo shows that was the one place we got to visit last night. We eventually got to our accommodation around 6pm. We couldn't transfer from the airport by Uber as more than likely you would need a phone to guide the driver. No phone so no Uber.

The next best option was the cab. In KL Airport you pre buy a coupon, then walk to the appropriate gate and there's your cab. I had been told to order a 'budget cab'. So that's what I did. However the girl in the booth wouldn't do that, as we had 4 pieces of luggage we would have to pay more. But it still worked out to be AUD $40 for a 65km trip travelling at up to 130ks in an air conditioned and very comfortable car.

Our room is great, not large by any means but is on the 21st floor of the Ramada Hotel.  It is a privately owned studio appartment. Very comfortable with everything we need. A big hassle was sorting out the air con but all is great now.

As the photo shows we did get to the eats street called Jalan Alor. i loved the couple of bottles of Anchor beer, Char Koay Teow, 10 Satay sticks and an Oyster Omelette. The drinks were as dear as the food, a little over $25 all up. With a 2hr time difference, come 9pm here we were ready for bed.

My ears have only cleared this morning giving me some hearing back.

Our plan today is to explore.

More news in the next day or so.
