We arrived in KL in very good time - too early, in fact, for our transport in to the city, so we had to wait a while. The flight was great - just 7 hours and only a handful of others in Business Class meant we virtually each had a steward/stewardess to ourselves. The food was great again too - lots of Satay.
Of course, late afternoon not far from the equator (KL's just 3 degrees N, compared with Adelaide's 35 S, Grant's Pass 42 N and Banchory 57 N) inevitably means thunderstorms of some kind and we certainly had a downpour and some lightning, but it wasn't all that much really and it was dry by the time we went out in the evening.
Our hotel (Shangri-La) is big and beautiful, with terrific service. Here's our room:
Ross' room is identical - it's 2 nights of luxury for him after sleeping on a mattress on the floor in Adelaide, accompanied by the occasional cockroach and armies of ants!
We had a drink in Arthur's Bar at the hotel first:
We then had a very frustrating time trying to find our way to Taps Bar. Ross gave up eventually, but Jo and I got there in the end - via taxi. We walked back to the hotel where we could just see one of the Petronas Twin Towers lit up:
We also spotted some fairly large snails:
After a good sleep, breakfast was welcome - and what a spread it was. The choices were amazing, including honey direct from the comb:
There were also 2 chocolate towers - one white, one dark:
Then we posed outside the breakfast room:
Bye for now.
