A short three hour coach ride brought us from Melaka to Kuala Lumpur or KL as the locals call it, the capital of Malaysia. We had to walk from the bus station to our hotel in the midday heat (around 30 degrees) with backpacks on, which seemed to take forever.
KL is home to the worlds tallest flagpoll (above) which is where the British handed power over to Malaysia, next to the flagpole is also a cricket pitch and pavilions.
In the afternoon we walked to the KL Menara tower, the third tallest communications tower in the world (BT tower didn't make chart). After walking the long way round we went up to the viewing levels at the top, which had spectacular views across the city (see below).
In true Malaysian style, it started to rain just as we left so we had to get a taxi back, the taxi driver even managed to provide some entertainment and a bit of singing as we headed back. In the evening we went to KLCC, where the Petronas towers are located and had dinner before getting a few pictures of the towers lit up at night.
