Date: 6th July 2011

Place: Kuala Lumpur

Weather: Sunny

We woke up early today so that we could go up the Kuala Lumpur tower and then go to the shopping centre. We went to the central market first and had a look around before getting some better directions to the Kuala Lumpur tower. It didn't take as long to get to that side of the city this time and we got straight up the tower. The views were awesome and we each had a personal headset that told us what we were looking at through each window.

Included in the ticket was a mini zoo visit which was at the bottom of the tower. It was filled with snakes, geckos, spiders, monkeys, racoons, two headed turtles and some weird hairless things (apparently mice). We stayed there for a while until we went on a free walking tour through the rainforest where we were absolutely attacked by mosquitoes!

Once we had finished the activities at the tower we went to the shopping centre first we had some lunch and then had a little look around the shops. There weren't too many we could actually shop in though because they were all designer. We went over the road to another shopping centre. We were really looking for a coffee shop but ended up giving into having one from Mc Donalds.

We decided to head back to the hostel to get our bags and then head straight to the airport. We got the train this time. The train station was great though so we stopped there to have dinner before getting on the train. The airport was great as well, it had loads of shops to look in. We had another sprits of perfume and used some of the free samples in Body Shop.

We were flying with the budget part of Malaysia Airlines this time but they were still really great. Because we had paid to have our bags checked in we got a free meal on the flight. I was really enjoying my chicken satays until the plane got really bumpy so then I just couldn't eat because I felt way too nervous.

It was easy enough to get from the airport to Kota Kinabalu where we were dropped off at a place called Lucy's Homestay. The woman showed us straight to our beds and we crashed out.
