One of the shrines at the side you can see the 272 steps we had to climb - hard work in the heat but worth it.
Quiet day today so went off to Batu Caves today which is about 45 minutes by train from the hotel.

Really fascinating and informative as we went on a tour and conservation is one of their top prorities, which is good. We had to climb over 272 steps to get to the top so we could go inside the caves. There were many shrines at the bottom and at the top which were amazing.

Can you believe the train fare was only 60 pence return! We are not sure if this is because they have extended the line and testing it out, but what value for money that was.

We made a stop off at Borders bookstore (yes they get everywhere) as I had a thought that we could look at the travel books on Malaysia and decide if we want to go up further or go straight to Cambodia - they must know the tricks as all the Asian travel books were in cellophane - when I asked an assistant if I could look into the book before I purchased it he said no (sharp little blighter) or it could be that I had a pad and pen in my hand ready to make loads of notes.

So it looks like I have to go on the internet and look at what to do. Mike is no help here as he won't make a decision - I keep getting flight details and costs which to be honest are really reasonable. Anyway going to go on the internet now to see if I can persuade him either way as we only have one more night booked in KL.

Tonight we are planning to go to little India for a curry so will let you know how it went tomorrow.

Hope you are all well.
