July 1st - July 6th
Kuala Lumpur is a very impressive city - lots of shopping of all kinds can be done here. We also managed to fit in a small amount of sight-seeing.... as well a night out or two !!!
Pic: Malaysia loves Man Utd - Air Asia plane; hope Ronaldo and Rooney kiss and make up ;o)
The Gods were against us however as the two days we attempted to go up to the Skybridge on the Petronas Towers they were closed - the first day we tried was a Monday (closed on Mondays !). We tried again on Tuesday (4th July) and again it was closed all day "due to technical difficulties" (?) so we gave in at that stage and went off and got manicures and pedicures for the afternoon !!

We sampled much of the local cuisine here in KL, lots of chinese influences with plenty of chilli. Also in KL is an O'Briens sandwich bar !!!! it was quite a surprise to see it there and full of locals having lunch too !! We ordered sandwiches with everything in them..... :oP
We stayed with Sammi in KL who was a superb guide and hostess and who was kind enough to allow us the use of her car for our stay. The kamikaze style of KL drivers is one we won't forget too easily though; we will be cornering and cutting-in like women possessed on our return.
