On our way
back to Melbourne, Geoff and I stopped for 3 nights in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. The focus of the trip was
really to relax, de-frost (even the last day in London was nice weather, the
preceding months had not been warm) and de-jetlag.
We failed
miserably on the last aim, but to make up for it, we were very warm, enjoyed
the hotel pool and ate great food.
We went up
the Petronus Towers and enjoyed the very controlled visit. You’re allowed a set period of time on each
floor before the guides shoo you back to the lift and up (or down) to the next
level. We went up in late afternoon and
had a great view out over the urban sprawl of KL until the rain came across,
which completely obscured parts of the city, but was impressive to watch.
We managed
to mis-time our return to our hotel and got in a cab at the same time as every
other person in KL, but we eventually got back, dried off and when the rain
passed we headed out to the night market for dinner – grilled fish, satay
skewers, dumplings and dragon’s breath.
Friends had
recommended a specific stall at the night market on Jalan Alor and we were delighted with dinner.
Walking
along Jalan Alor was great – so much delicious food on offer on the different
stalls.
A pity it
was only a night market, as we only had 3 dinners in KL which was not enough
time to try all the enticing food.
In between
eating, we did a lot of lounging by the hotel pool and in the hotel. A very relaxing break after all the hard work
of packing up our lives in London.
