Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

We decided at the last minute to take a trip to Kuala Lumpur (KL) for the weekend.  We flew out on Saturday morning and returned Sunday night.  Here are some of the things we saw on the trip.

Batu Caves
The caves are a Hindu temple. 

To get into the caves you have to climb almost 300 steps past monkeys...

past loads of trash, which we found unbelievable at a temple.

All to get into the caves which were again laden with trash and chickens.  Needless to say we were very underwhelmed with it. 

 
We went to a large park which included a deer park, butterfly park, orchid park, bird park, and beautiful landscaping.

It was very peaceful and a good place to go after the caves.


Of course I can't leave out the main attraction of KL, the Patronas Towers.  They are the most well known landmark in Malaysia. 

Here is a picture of the city from the KL tower.  The tall towers in the middle of the picture are the Patronas Towers.

BEST DISCOVERY OF THE TRIP:
I have finally found a way to get Greg to come shopping with me.  He said this is what is missing in the US.  Lounges in the middle of the mall where you can drink beer or just nap!
