Batu Caves
Gold StatueThe day is a cracker, weather perfect, humid and 28 no rain. I take a short 15 minute shower under a shower head the size of a dinner plate, put on a tshirt and head down to breakfast. The breakfast buffet is outstanding, leaving nothing to want for. The girl asked if i wanted to sit in or outside.... bahaha. To give an indication of size, it was 67 steps from my table to the juice bar, with around 400 glasses laid out in perfect alignment, and my table only around half way across the atrium. Three courses later I roll out of the buffet and return to the room to gather my things.
down at reception my tour bus awaits, as we head off to the Batu caves. The humidity is really kicking in and the climb up the stairs brought out a little sweat. great temple and caves, shame that for many tourists the religious aspect of the temples was trumped by the cute monkeys just waiting to relieve you of any food or drink you carry. After visiting a few more temples we head off to a batik factory and I resisted the urge to buy the

Next onto the Royal Selangor Pewter factory, the only production site in the world for Selangor Pewter. Amazing craft and skills seen live as artisans hand make the items in front of you. and its sunday. Snared a lovely trinket and did a quick circuit of the city and returned to the Hotel for a well earned cuppa.
