Day 18 - Kuala Lumpur

We arrived to Kuala Lumpur at 5am in the morning by the night bus from Singapore. The night view of the city was pretty ugly, especially compared to comfortable bus seats that almost transformed into a bedsit :)

After unsuccessful attempts to catch a taxi with meter, we went to Chinatown for RM20. Quick check-in to the hotel, and two hour power nap, which we desperately needed!

During the day Kuala Lumpur was much better than at night, yet the sun and heat that we already experienced in Singapore was killing us again. Petronas Towers view point was closed on Monday – unlucky we are, so we went to the Menara KL Tower to enjoy the city view. It was funny, how they wrote “4th Tallest Tower in the World” at the entrance. “4th” was in really tiny font 

In the shopping center near Petronas towers we spent some time near Sauber bolid and Malaysian Grand-Prix stand. Local lady wanted to take picture of her small son with me – would be nice to find out, with which celebrity they actually mess me up…

Second half of the day was devoted to shopping and gastoronomic pleasures. We were totally tired of traveling – relaxation and nothing else we need… Final tropical rain in our trip, final Chinese market, and final taxi to our final flight…
