Day 155 (Sat 9 Dec) - Kuala Lumpur
Our bed is just too comfortable. As soon as our heads hit the pillow we were sucked into it like a being embraced by a massive marshmallow. Struggled out of bed and went down for breakfast.
Jo has devised a three-course breakfast menu, for starters she downs salmon and melon, followed by beef bacon, chicken sausages, beans, egg and toast and for pudding she devours a plate of pastries and cakes. Think we could get used to this.
Both of us had been suffering a bit with toothaches, so we decided to go and get some antibiotics rather than resorting to alcohol as a means of pain relief. We walked around the park towards the shopping centre at the base of the Petronas towers. From the other side of the park we had a great view of our hotel.
In the centre of the shopping centre was the largest Christmas tree we've ever seen. It must be at least 60 metres tall - we could take a photo it because it was just too big! Jo's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she looked at all the shops in the centre.
Found the medical centre and were seen by this really friendly doctor. He was quite happy just telling us about Kuala Lumpur and what delights we should sample and reassuring us that Malaysians are obsessed with hygiene so we could eat everything without worrying. At one point, think we all forgot why we were there. Anyway he prescribed us with enough antibiotics and pain relief to last us during our time around SE asia and after paying a small fee, we left to continue exploring the shopping centre.
Went back to the hotel and went up to the sky bar where we lazed around in the jacuzzi and swimming pool - great feeling swimming 33 floors up!!!
Later we went round the Aquaria, which was fun.
Afterwards Sarb went off to find an internet cafe whilst Jo went back to the shopping centre to have her hair cut. She found this amazing salon where she had a head massage and was pampered for an hour by two Malaysian guys - and it only cost 10 squids (so Sarb was happy too!).
On Sarb's travels he had spotted an Irish pub so when we met up we popped there for a few pints - Jo was very impressed they served "Strongbow". Ate some tasty calamari and cheddar ploughmans. Then spotted they also had meat pies on the menu - definitely have to come back to sample those.
Waddled back to our hotel and dived into our amazing bed.
