Third day in Kuala Lumpur

The third day was not as good as the first two days. I had a swim in the hotel swimming pool in the morning. That was good, the water was nice and the pool was nearly empty. I could use 'front crawl' without bumping into or being bumped by others.


It was pouring with rain when we went out. I made a mistake by going to Puduraya trying to catch a bus to Batu Cave. We should have gone to the Central Market to get it. However, it was raining so heavily that we changed our mind. We went to a shopping centre instead. It was 1 Utama. We walked around to kill time.
We were cheated by a taxi driver from Kelana Jaya LRT Station to 1 Utama. He charged us RM 15. At first I said RM 10, then I said what about following the meter. He said if by meter, it was RM18. So, deal. When we went back from 1 Utama back to the LRT Station, we took a taxi with a meter. You know how much? RM6.7, arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
The evening was great to end the day happily. We walked to Changkat Bukit Bintang where there were lots of western restaurants. We found an Irish one. We had Guiness Pie and Fish & chips. It was a great contrast to the night at China Town. It was fantastic too.

We walked towards the street where we could take a close look at Menara and Petronas Twin Towers. Had a few photos of them. Quite happy with the photos!
