Kuala Lumpur

We arrived in Kuala Lumpur after a decent bus journey and got dropped at a bus stop that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. Colin had looked up the trains and knew that there was a station nearby, but the taxi drivers weren't very helpful about telling us where the station was as they wanted us to travel with them instead. We wandered 2 minutes up the road and found the train to our hostel for a fraction of the price of the taxi.
The hostel we stayed at was only recently opened and everything was very nice, but particularly the staff were very friendly and helpful.
On our first evening there, after dinner, we walked to the Petronas towers and took some photos of these amazing structures. We'd read you have to get to the towers really early to get tickets, so decided we'd sleep in the next morning and save it for our final full day in KL.
The next morning after a late breakfast we headed to Chinatown and explored the streets and stalls around here and also found our way to Little India. By the afternoon it was too hot for us to be out in the sun, so we headed into a few of the malls in KL. The whole city was really busy and we later found out that it was a public holiday and the Petronas towers were closed. By late afternoon we'd got back to our hostel and it started to rain. Within minutes the streets were flowing with water and everyone was ducking for cover. Sitting by our hostel looking through the window we saw the lightening and heard the thunder at the same time and had to wait quite a while for the rain to ease off for us to go to dinner.
On the Friday we got up early and headed straight for the towers, only to find out we'd just missed out on tickets, so decided that though we were leaving the next day we would get up even earlier and try for tickets again.
So on our final morning we were awake very early and again made the trip to the towers with high hopes of getting in this time, only to be thwarted by even more people. We realised it wasn't meant to be and I guess this just gives us a reason to come back one day.
We made our way back to the bus terminal and bought tickets to Melaka.
