Stage 2 - 23rd January 2014

Another day off, in fact the start of my 3-week holiday.  We decided to visit some of the sights we had spotted on the bus tours so first of all caught a taxi to China Town. This was a little disappointing because I expected to see lots of Chinese people and lots of Chinese restaurants but saw neither. It was mostly a few streets of shops and market stalls selling trash and not a single restaurant in site. So we set off for the Market, which was a really good experience, lots of good shops and many shops selling local art and crafts; we didn't buy because we are worried about the weight of our luggage - 30kilos coming in on Emirates but reduced to 20kilos on the local flights!

We found a 'famous' restaurant for lunch, famous for it's fish head curry but when we saw it on display we declined and went for the fish curry and the chicken curry, both really nice and spicy though too much for Dianne who ended up with a sore tummy!

After lunch we walked across town to the KL Tower where we paid our money and took a trip to the viewing platform at the top and took some photos.  The weather here is superb, not too hot, but it's always a little hazy so the photos were not great, but they do give an impression of the height of the building.
