(Day 2) KL Malaysia Trip « byarista Posted: 27 Aug 2011 10:25 AM PDT July 29, 2011 Our first morning at KL. We woke up as early as 5AM so we're ready for our breakfast by 7AM. At the Kitchenette/breakfast area, we're the only people there. Wow we're the early birds! We arrived in Batu Cave Station at 10:47AM. From the station we walk few more steps to the entrance going to Batu Caves. Along the way is some more statues and temples. My bad, I forgot to note down the names due to my amusement on the sights. FYI: One of the highlights of a visit in Selangor City is the Batu Caves. Situated thirteen kilometers (seven miles) north of the capital city Kuala Lumpur. They are the sacred place for the Hindu's in Malaysia. The caves are made of limestone and 400 meters long and 100 meter high. Tips: If you wanna see hundreds of pigeons coming over you… feed them! You could buy bird's food in a nearby stall for 2RM. Tips: Want an epic captured moments with the pigeons? Candid shots are very entertaining to see so setup your camera with timer and just let it take it's shots. And don't forget to setup your videocam to document your breath taking experience. Then just take video stills for your photo collections. For our video with these pigeons, sorry unable to post here.

Put your stamina to the test! Let's go! Tips: As steps leading up the Batu Caves are not covered, it would be good idea to visit it in the morning or later part of the afternoon when it's not so hot. Next stop is Dataran Merdeka. It's past 1PM and we're back to KTM Komuter for a train ride back to KL Sentral for our lunch before heading to Merdeka, around 20-30 minutes travel time. Instead of trying out some Malaysian native foods at the eateries around Batu Caves, we preferred to have our lunch in KFC. I don't know, it's just that we're not into Malaysian foods. FYI: Dataran Merdeka (Merdeka Square) is a good starting point to explore the city's heritage sites. At the north end of the square you will find the lovely St. Mary's Cathedral designed by AC Norman and dating from 1894. Museum Negara, Government Office, Sultan Abdul Samad Building, Restoran Warisan, and the City Library, as well as the Malaysian Natinal flagpole and Victoria Fountain all right next to each other. From Dataran Merdeka you could see a light blue building which is the Central Market. It is a one stop shopping centre for Malaysian products. We walk through the street and dropby at the Kasturi Walk. A lane running alongside Central Market.  Kasturi Walk is an exciting covered walkway, here you will also find an array of traditional garments and souvenirs. And after a jampack tiring day, back to our comfy Guest House to compile our photos and watch our videos. It's 1AM and we're up at the 3rd Floor, TV lounge area. That's it. End of Day 2. We had fun all day, from breakfast to dinner, from dusk till dawn. Hope you had fun reading and viewing our travel story for today. More to come  ^^; Like this: Be the first to like this post.
