Kuala Lumpur

Hey guys!

After a teary good bye at the airport and a flight that we never thought would end we are finally in KL.

Its very warm here, its about 26 degrees, but 90% humidity. So basically we are sweating like pigs.

Our hotel is veryyy fancy, we have a king size bed which is lovely, and the view from our room is amazing. We look directly at Time Square.

Stupidly enough our dinner on the plane was at 4.00pm, so by the time we got to the hotel it was about 1.30am Australian time we were starving!
As nothing was really open we ordered room service. We got a massive burger and wedges to share for about $10 australian.... which is quite cheap for room service.

Today we have gone on the monorail all the way to KLCC, although our first journey was in the wrong direction due to a newbie mistake. But we finally did make it to the Petronas Twin Towers which houses Malaysia's largest shopping centre. It makes Chadstone look like a milk bar.

We weren't going to go up the Towers because ticketing is at about 8.30am and they are very limited and you have to line up from 7am to secure a ticket. At about 10am we decided to go and have a look at the towers, we walked in and managed to get the very last 2 tickets of the day. How lucky is that?!
As I write this its 11.07am here, and we don't go up the towers until 3.45pm. So we still have a very long day ahead of us, since we have been out and about since before 8.00am this morning.

Our feet hurt, our legs are tired and its stinking bloody hot but it is so worth it. The people over here are lovely and so friendly. We have had plenty of people help us out without us even asking.

Oh, we got picked up from the airport last night by this nice guy who took us to our hotel, let me tell you there are no road rules over here whatsoever! In a 90km zone people usually go about 140km. They don't use indicators, we saw one person use them on an hour trip. We spent more time in the middle of the lane than actually in it.

So now we are off to find some lunch. I think I am going to have maccas because it is so cheap, its about $2 australian for a large meal!


MUM! You would be very proud of me... I ate the food on the airplane! It was BBQ chicken with potatoes. It was very nice =) but Kristian ate the rest because I filled up on bread rolls as always.


Thats about all for now, we fly out tomorrow at 10.05am so we probably won't post on here again until we get to England or to Nanny & Grandad's.

Love you all and miss you a tonne!

Lauren & Kristian.


P.S - Give Billy and Rubi a cuddle for us.
And woofa aswell!
