3 18 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA PART 1

Today we took the ship’s transportation to Kuala Lumpur.  It took about 1 hour, so we decided not to taxi it there, but use the ships excursion instead.  When we got there, we did take a taxi, with Juby and Tom.  Not, that is not a misspelling.  We have done several things with them now.

On the way from the port in Port Klang, our bus was decorated with curtains.

We drove through tropical landscapes.  The port and the city are not separated by country.  It is developed most of the way.

KL’s, as Kuala Lumpur is known, major attractions are  the KL Tower and the PETRONAS Twin Towers.  These are the tallest twin towers in the world.  Look in the picture and you can see a walkway that connects the 2 buildings.  You can go up there and look at the city.  This city is also full of smog.  I have worked on the pictures so they look clearer.  At least when we are at sea the air is fresh.

Notice how modern the towers are.  Stainless steel and shiny.

A neighborhood near the highway.  There are wonderful highways here.  Even the streets are in good repair.

Kuala Lumpur has a lot of attractions but my favorite was the Batu Caves. The food available in KL is fantastic and I had a good time enjoying different flavors especially at the street vendors situated close to my hotel KL.
