Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Greetings from SE Asia. We cant believe that 2 months in Oz has already passed and a new chapter in our travels in Asia is beginning :-) cheezarama!
Gateway to Asia for us has been hot, humid & stinky Kuala Lumpur. K.L is real mixture of gleaming new skyscrapers contrasted with old, decaying & mouldy suburbs - a new and even more disgusting smell lurked around every corner.

Coral atols from our window, somewhere over the Java Sea.

Torrential rain greets us as we transfer from the airport to K.L Sentral.

After much confusion, Suvi finally chooses her first Malay breakfast. Menu....no clue?

Visiting a new city without checking out the Aquarium just wouldn't be right....Suvi making friends with sharks.

Fish Therapy!

There was no way Suvi could put her feet in the therapy pool with her ticklish feet.....I took one for team however :-) ....nice feeling!

Before!

After!

Street scene, China Town, lost???

Our hotel is in there somewhere!

New sunglasses, new haircut, new man :-)

How did Stone Henge get here.....mock up at K.L planetarium.

Orchid Gardens....I insisted on addding this pic even though Suvi rekons she looks 'chubby'. K.L Tower and Petronas Towers loom in the background.

Suvi cooling off at the Orchid Gardens!

Macro wonders.

Me sweating behind the Orchids.

Friendly looking orchid.

No she's not having a wee.....just fish feeding at the Butterfly Park.

My turn!

The leaf butterfly.....very friendly!

This ones for you Terry.....you'll see why soon!

More macro! Not bad for a compact camera.

View of Petronas Towers from lofty K.L Tower, 290m above the street.

Enduring the Petronas P.R machine.....3D glasses provided!

40 floors up - The Skybridge which links the twin towers of Petronas. Suvi being brave once again.

'Artsy'.

Towers at night.

More tower shots.

Mum's.....were eating OK. This lunch selection cost 10RM or £2 :-)

This ones for you Dad! On our way to Butterworth by sleeper train.

"Tickets please!"... Suvi looking worried as you're not supposed to take pictures of 'officials'.

Suvi has to do something about my smelly feet before I stunk out the carriage...BTW, I returned the favour :-)
