KL

Well today has been tiring. It is hot and sticky and I have a splitting head ache.

We arrived last night at midnight (Adelaide time) - feeling very fatigued. After a hair raising taxi ride from the airport, without seat belts (I prayed the whole way!), we settled into our beds in a wonderful little airconditioned room on the 3rd floor of the Pondok Lodge - a back packer place in the "golden triangle" region of KL

This morning we got up early so we could get tickets to the patronus towers air bridge. They usually sell out by 10 am so we pushed ourselves to get up in order to not miss out. We picked up our tickets and then had a 4 hour wait until our allotted time to go up into the towers, so we went to a cultural craft centre where Luke made a batik wall hanging of a dragon fly.

I would have like to have done one too - They were truly amazing - but the heat and lack of sleep was beginning to get to me, so i just watched.

We headed back to the towers and I opted out of going up. The boys really enjoyed it and Luke got some great photo's.

For dinner tonight we braved the local food. The restaurants for foreigners are really expensive, even though this is a back packing area, so we went down to the local out door eating area. We were the only westerners there, and had lots of folks watching our every move.

We enquired about a few dishes and before we knew it they were served up to us.... we didnt realise we had ordered!! I was a bit nervous, but the food was all very hot so we just crossed our fingers and hoped that any germs were well and truly cooked to death.
