Our Final Day in KL Today

Yesterday we did the Hop On Hop Off KL Bus thing. It took us to many places we had been to previously and a few we hadn't seen before.   We only got off at three stops but each stop was for a place we wanted to visit.

We stopped at China Town and in particular, Petaling Street. This is the home of the famous KL Night Market. Despite being around 11am, many stalls were open selling stuff we weren't interested in buying. Our next stop was Little India and there was some stuff we wanted to buy here, roti canai and Murtabak .

The old Indian guy who served gave us special treatment. 2 rotis, a Murtabak and 2 soft drinks set us back a little over $5. That is a roti in the photo above.

It was back on the air conditioned bus and we rode by various towers, bird parks, royal palaces, stations and flower gardens. The next and final stop for us to check out was the Twin Towers. This hides yet another huge shopping complex. It was a very quick look before we again sought the air conditioned bus.

It filled in the day and we saw some things we had never seen on previous trips.

Finally it was back to the room for fluid replacement.

Our evening meal was in a spot we found accidentally. We decided to head down a different street to get to Jalan Alor and come across another line of restaurants. One of those restaurants was partially Indian so for me it was another Murtabak while Trish had the old favorite, Char Koay Teow.

By then I was quite full but Trish was still peckish. So some Kai lan and a small oyster omelet later we headed back to our pad feeling quite exhausted. I slept for 8 hours. I haven't slept that long for some time.

Today, our final full day in KL will be fairly quiet. We have a 5am pickup tomorrow to take us to the airport and off to Sri Lanka for the following 5 nights.
