Day 228 (Tues 20 Feb) - Kuala Lumpur

Up early to pack our bags.

Traipsed to the floating restaurant through which our return trip was booked and had brekky.

At 9am on the dot a boat pulled in and we, and a number of other tourists, bundled on. Soon we were speeding off down the river. Really beautiful to see the mist floating up from the dense forest as we raced past ( [1], [2] ). The journey only took 2 and a half hours.

Got to Tembeling jetty and boarded a bus that would take us back to Jerantut. Arrived at 12pm and as we had an hour to kill before we boarded a bus to Kuala Lumpur had a spot of lunch.

The journey to Kuala Lumpur was uneventful and we were soon standing in the pouring rain in KL's Chinatown. Managed to find a small cleanish room at the Backpackers Travellers Lodge where the staff were really helpful. Gave us loads of good advice regarding getting to the airport t'row.

We took the LRT monorail to the KLCC and whilst Jo went shopping Sarb went off to burn some CDs.

At 8pm we met up again at Finnigans Irish bar were we had loads of beers and whacking great big pies. On the way to Finnigans Sarb spotted a moped parked on the side of the road with music blaring from it. Closer inspection revealed that what he initially thought was furry seat covers were in fact cats. The moped was draped in cats; calmly sitting there listening to the tunes. Sarb supposed that the man standing nearby was the owner of the moped and cats, as he surmised that even a super intelligent cat was unlikely to don a crash helmet and roar off into the night with his buddies perched alongside. Still you never know.

Walked back to the hotel where Sarb had a restless nights sleep for some reason.
