We are finally at a quiet restful place. Last few days in Kuala Lumpur were hectic. The traffic there is crazy. Crossing a street is no simple task as the traffic lights were designed to not stop traffic for pedestrians (or so it seems). Both Carla and I were almost run over several times, but survived due to the survival instincts kicking in (RUN!!!!) :-)
We visited KL Tower, Petronas Towers, Chinatown, Merdeka Square, Bintung Walk and a few other areas of importance in KL. Nice sights but we are looking forward to seeing other parts of the country.
We are on Lngkawi island on the west coast of Malaysia, near the famous Penang Island. This is the tropics, so bugs are really big! It makes you be very careful about where you leave food as bugs seem to always find where you've stashed the food.
We saw a monkey on our roof this morning. Really different looking face. I did not get to take picture of him, but there is still time. This is my first day here.
Before leaving KL we managed to book a trip to Siem Reap in Cambodia. The Angkor Wat temple is located there so it is going to be a delightful visit. We will be staying there for 6 days, right after our Langkawi trip. We will have to sleep at the airport as we fly into KL at 2340 and then fly out at 0700. Luckily, they have a 24-hour McDonalds with free WiFi at the airport, so we won't be bored or hungry. :-)
If you take a look at the map on the right side of the blog, you will get to see our latest GPS position. Click on the map and then you can pull up a satellite view of our surroundings. Very interesting!
That's it for now, I have to go relax for a while! This blogging thing is tiring. :-)
