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.

We then had the choice of whether or not we wanted to go the really muddy way or the road way. Since I hadn't been able to handle the mud from the day before without falling everywhere I decided to take the road way. It was an easy walk and we finished at the stop we were having lunch.
