Wednesday 25^th & Thursday 26^th June

SHE SAID:

Two days into one!

We left Mum & Horsham at 7am on Wednesday 25th & got to the Traders Hotel in Kuala Lumpur around 11am on Thursday 26th! Suitably buggered from the flights, lack of sleep, & a TOTAL stuff around of charging from one plane which was late landing to what seemed like the other end of Dubai terminal to the next plane which was almost ready to depart!

We made it!

Then the STUPID online immigration forms at KL were really hard to fill in; we asked for help from the officials several times. Basic stuff like trying to input the date of expiry on the passport, & unknown information like “in what province” is the hotel we are staying!!! FFS!

Then it wouldn’t accept our information & they had to process us by hand. WTAF!

We had pre-booked a taxi to take us to the hotel, & he was messaging Geoff over the WIFI asking where we were because it was taking so long. Thankfully he waited for us.

Also, thankfully I had asked for early check-in, & we got it, as it was 11am when we got to the hotel. We were upgraded to a “garden view”, which included views of the fountains & the Petronas Twin Tower! I didn’t ask for the upgrade. We zonked for a couple of hours then went exploring the hotel & the KLCC Park & area.

Dinner was a local affair in our hotel, & we were back in the room by 7.30pm. Fingers & toes crossed for a reasonable night's sleep.

HE SAID:

It was broad daylight for most of our first flight, to Dubai, so I didn't end up getting any sleep until I grabbed a couple of hours on our way to Kuala Lumpur. Needless to say I was knackered when we got to the hotel. Later in the afternoon we wandered over to the shopping mall, which was full of high-end shops such as: Rolex, Gucci, Armani and many others. We wandered back to the hotel through the central, but small, park.
