A Day in Kuala Lumper, Malaysia

Then Hou Temple

King`s Palace

Tugu Negara

National Monument Park

KLCC Park

As you all know by now that over the Christmas holidays I was away and the first stop was in Kuala Lumper, Malaysia.

We only had one full day in this huge city so I booked a 3 hour tour to see the main sites. The guide was quite amusing and was able to tell us the most important information about the sites we saw.

We visited the Thean Hou temple, National Mosque,  King`s Palace, National Monument Park, Sultan Abul Samand Building and the Petronas Towers.

In the evening we went back to the towers and I went up for a visit, you need to book in advance which I of course had done. Afterwards we went for dinner in the KLCC esplanade area and we also saw  the water fountain light/music show.

It was a short visit to the city and I am glad to have visited KL.

Happy Weekend

The Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year, I just arrived back today (4th Jan) from Singapore. I thought I would show you some of the photos from our trip in South-East Asia.

The first stop was Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, this was the first time for me and Arlene. We only had a day here so we made the most of it. In the evening I had pre-booked a ticket to go up the twin towers, which was just as well as they were all sold out for the day. I went alone as Arlene does not like heights.

The tour is a guided one, first you get some instructions and then you are whisked up to the to the sky bridge which is around level 43 I think. You are given 10 minutes to look and take photos. Then again whisked up to the level 88 which you can read all kinds of information about the towers. I wanted to go in the evening as I think cities look quite stunning lit up. Unfortunately it can make it difficult to take good photos (in my case anyway).

Afterwards you are taken 3 levels down where there is a shop and you have a wait a bit until it is time to descend to the lowest level and the exit. There is another shop also.

Some facts about the Petronas twin towers they are 451.9m high and have 88 levels, from 1998 to 2004 they were the tallest towers in the world. They remain the tallest twin towers in the world. The towers were designed by Argentine architect Cesar Pelli. It is definitely the highlight of a visit to KL.

Wishing you all a great weekend
