KL - my kind of town

I love Malaysia! I fell in love with it 5 years ago. To say I was slightly concerned that I'd bigged it up in my mind is an understatement. But, lo, here it is like a comfy pair of slippers. Plenty of planning and deliberation has gone into organising this leg of the trip however, changed flights and delays find us arriving at our hotel a little after 3am.

A debate about whether to revisit the Petronas Twin Towers results in us heading for Mendara (the KL Tower), the open deck is much higher than the sky bridge at Petronas. It is a wow as you step onto the open deck and see the city sprawling for miles and miles and miles and looking in miniature. There is a breeze up here (at 425 metres that's unsurprising) and the temperature is lovely. We pick out all the land marks we know, gasp at the amount of green spaces that we seemingly have never found and take the silly perspective shot the tower wants to sell you - spoilsports. A few floors down the observation deck gives a closer view on the skyscrapers around.

On Sunday morning the Nike We Run KL 21k 2015 race starts at 5.30am at the stadium across the highway from us. Around 6.30am the first returners enter the stadium to loud and enthusiastic motivation from the commentary pair, we decide to head over. It was a great spectacle, the pack were just at the 13k mark as we headed across the highway and we saw them return to the stadium a little later - one woman had run in flip flops!

The obligatory visit to shopping malls (note the plural) and Chinatown and our weekend in KL is sadly over and not a single fake item purchased. I, of course, have to visit my favourite Dr Fish pool in the central market. My feet are desperate and they love them. Did I mention I love KL!
