The Aloft Hotel, which we’d stayed at before, is super convenient for KL Sentral as you can access it from inside the shopping centre. Go up the escalators and look for the little sign pointing to the right and follow the walkway round. Reception is on the ground floor but this way you arrive on the first. We could have our room straight away and it was on the 26th floor with a view over Brickfields, the Indian area. The last time the rooftop infinity pool had been full of Aussie schoolgirls with all their hand luggage and clothing so we couldn’t get near it. This time we had it to ourselves for a while and the views are so nice from up there. We relaxed for a while and had some overpriced coffees. Our reason ... read more

December 14, 2019. Moving on from George Town, we had one last delicious breakfast of French Toast and ice cream before heading to the airport for our short and cheap Air Asia flight to Kuala Lumpur. The airport is about 55km from the city center and it was significantly cheaper to get a GRAB taxi rather than take the train. Plus we got delivered right to door of the Verdant Hill Hotel in the Bukit Bintang district. The weather gods had finally deserted us. The further south we travel in Malaysia, the worse the weather forecasts seem to be with thunderstorms and heavy rain predicted for every afternoon. So far we have mostly experienced (only) short lived monsoonal downpours, but today the rain appears ready to stay a while. One of the reasons we chose the ... read more

After 3 years finally we were on the way to our absolutely favourite city in Asia: Kuala Lumpur. For those of you who follow us since quite a while, it is nothing new that we really like Malaysia, its people, nature and: Kuala Lumpur. It was already our 4th visit to this town. But let's start from the beginning. From Istanbul we flew Fly Dubai to Dubai - if you can avoid to fly with this airline - avoid it! You will get nothing but water on this 5 hour flight and it is more than cramped and unpleasant. So it was such an amazing surprise when we entered the A380 of Emirates. The flight was completely booked but we were lucky enough to get the ermergency seats. So, lots of leg space and no neighbours, ... read more

V noci a nadranom ma zobudili trtkajuci ludia. Nieco po 930 vykopanie sa z ubytka a tak ako vzdy ranajky v zapadnutej ulicke, masaz noh pod komixovym muzeom a oddych v bambusovom domceku. To posledne sa vsak nekonalo. V parku kopa ludi s detmi. Vacsinu cinania. Vsetky 4domceky obsadene. Koncim teda v jednom altanku. Free wifi uz neni, uz je spoplatnene, co mi skrizilo trochu plany. Co som sledoval tak par parov s detmi tu malo najatene zvacsa cinske opatrovatelky deti. Po relaxe, obed vyrieseny v cinskom food courte oproti mhd bus stanici. V beef polievke bolo minimum masa, som cakal viacej. Ubytko vyprazdnene. Trochu spanku, po ktorom pada rozhodnutie, ze kupim novy telefon. Smer western union v kotaraya mall. Odtial este pomotanie sa po okoli. V jednej ulicke zdarma rozdavali oblecenie. Takze v kl sa ... read more

V noci som si musel zvysit teplotu na ac z 21 na 22 bo mi bola zima. Rano pokus o ranajky na miestnom trhu. Tu vsak ziadne hotove jedlo. Len surove ryby, kurata, zelenina a banany. Nakonec kupujem v indomarte plnene buchty. Docapovanie vody na ubytku do malej nadoby a objednavka grabu na letisko. Gojek stal dvojnasobok 21k. Prichadza motorka avsak s inou spztkou ale pohoda. Nasadam a uz ideme smer letisko. Mlady sofer ide tuto trasu asi prvykrat, bo nevedel ako sa berie parkovaci listok. Vyhadzuje ma na parkovisku pre motorky, ukazuje na parkovaci listok, no davam mu len prachy podla appky. Okolie letiska sa preraba, robia tu novu cestu a zacali stavat daku budovu. Pred mesiacom tomu nic nenasvedcovalo. Tentoraz neni problem s mobilnym listkom. Aj s vodou prechadzam sekurity a uz som na ... read more
