We flew with Malaysian overnight into Kuala Lumpur- we got the back seats where they go to twoa which was great so had loads of room. Found the food to be pretty good as well as plenty of drinks and snacks over the flight as well.
Landed in KL and had our pick up sorted so really easy getting into the city- we stayed at the Royale Bintang Hotel. Its quite a big hotel and the rooms have great views of the Menara Tower and the Petronas towers as well. Their breakfasts were fab too, never too busy to get a seat or anything either.
On the Monday we decided we'd do the new things in KL that had appeared since our last trip plus those we had missed. We used the new monorail system as well which was great. We went up to a few of the older districts for a mooch about the Ramadan markets- they had some fab sweeties for breaking fast with (although we had them earlier!). Then we headed back towards the new Aquarium.
Great attraction, very quiet as well- we got to stroke baby sharks as well as turtles and rays, their walk through shark tank is really good too.
Unfortunately by the time we came out of there- the heavens had opened and its was torrential rain, so we waited for the KL Hop on Hop off bus, which we hadn't heard great reports about.
Anyway, it turned up as scheduled and we got off at the Menara Tower. Fantastic views- sadly they were obscured by the clouds which were by this time delivering so much water it was hard to walk down the polished steps of the tower.
The bus came on time again so we travelled round a bit further and saw a new persepctive to KL from the top deck. We hopped off a few more times until we got back towards Bukit Bintang, by which point the torrent had stopped and wandered back to the hotel for a rest before heading for Petaling Street for dinner.
The satay there is still the best we have ever tasted even with the new developments like the roof (!!!). We had some great buskers while we ate and then wandered back after a few too many beers!
