Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur what a city we have had fun - not. On day one we decided to go into the city centre to the Petrona Towers but for some reason Taxis we not allowed there. We just assumed there was some kind of event. We got a tram and then had to divert to a bus. We where the only white people, the bus was full of Indian's. It then stopped as the Police would not let the bus in because of the Indians.(Umm Mike reassured me it was fine)

Mike said we could walk. As we started to walk there were hundreds I mean hundreds of hundreds of Indians looking menacing and unhappy. I told Mike that something was not right , he insisted it was a festival!!! 'OK' I said as we walked further along it got worse and worse like a rally. It was only when one kind Indian told us to stop as there was Police with TEAR GAS and WATER CANNONS!!! Ohh yes we where in the middle of a massive protest about Indian rights and blaming the English- funny was it, NO. As you can imagine a few choice word were exchanged by myself. Luckily we took refuge in a very nice hotel and watched the antics for a few hours until the crowds dispersed. A F***ing festival!!! seriously!!!

But don't worry everyone we are fine and even manged to meet some lovely people who lived in Holland. We even had a lovely birds eye view of the fiasco from VIP lounge, as they were on their honeymoon. After a few hours once it had all died down we spent the afternoon with our new friends and had a lovely evening eating drinking and having a laugh. Here are a few pictures of the Petronas. We are now heading for Langkawi and hoping we can just chill on the beach.
