SINGAPORE TO KUALA LUMPUR

KUALA LUMPUR – arrived at Port Kelang and joined a Ship’s tour into Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia.  With a convoy of very colourful buses, inside and out, and cheery guides, we set off for a great day, stopping for photos first of the magnificent Blue Mosque and then onto the War Memorial and its beautiful gardens.  It was here we discovered their ‘restrooms’ were quite “different to ours” – hole in the ground and no loo paper – you have to pay for that before you enter!!  Next stop was the National Museum and then onto a brilliant Craft Museum which was hosting a Bridal Expo – the materials/batiks, cakes, clothing and decorations were breathtaking and very elaborate.  We stood in awe and took photos of the Petronas Twin Towers (a sky bridge connecting the buildings making them the tallest twin towers in the world) and then topped off our day by going to the top of the Kuala Lumpur Tower, with a 360deg. view of this massive city of skyscrapers as far as the eye could see.
