Our first trip to Malaysia was great and really quite informative. Apart from visiting our friends, the highlight would have to have been seeing the Petronas towers which looked stunning, especially at night. However, to see these towers at night was not an easy task. The best viewing point is from a highrise bar across from the towers. This wasnt any ol'bar, this was a bar with a large swimming pool in the middle of it! To get to the viewing point we had to walk about 10 metres along an approx 70cm walkway with one side pool and the other side edging....can I also mention the "high heel factor" please!! Interestingly the story is that people dont seem to fall in this large pool. I have never focused so hard whilst walking in my life!! In any case, the view of the towers was absolutely worth it, they were stunning.
The weather is quite warm in "KL" and also quite rainy at times. Al and I thought we would take advantage of the pool at the end of the street from Claires house. Shortly after arriving we got caught in a sudden down pour (not like us hey) and were stranded there for about 10mins in the undercover toilet area. During this time, Al thought he would make use of the facilites but quickly changed his mind...wonder why :p
Our stay in KL was very short, but in this short time we had a great time and hope we can make it back again some day to see our friends again and experience some more of the Malaysian culture.
Next stop...Madrid and Lisbon...
