Kuala Lumpur - Day 4

After eating our full at breakfast, we wandered back to the National Gallery. We purchased our tickets and along with them we were given two, 5 Ringit vouchers for the gift shop! There were some photos of what Kuala Lumpur used to look like in the first gallery. We didn't stay long, as there was a huge tour group all trying to take photos in front of EVERYTHING, and we couldn't see anything anyway. We followed the arrows and were lead upstairs. There was a screening of something going on and there were people waiting, so we joined them. We were lead inside a room that had a diorama of the whole of Kuala Lumpur, including buildings that are currently being built, or that are in the pipeline to be built. The whole room went dark and a presentation/movie began playing. It told us all sorts of interesting facts about KL and it told us about the future infrastructure of the city. Certain parts of the city were lit up with multi-coloured lights as they were being spoken about. It was such a great presentation and we would definitely recommend that anyone who goes to KL goes to the gallery first!

The presentation was the last stop in the gallery. After that, we made our way to the gift shop. Most of the souvenirs were rather expensive (even with our discount!) and we had spent most of our Ringits already. Luckily we spied some donuts and we were able to get a donut and a water with each of our vouchers.

We went back to our hotel to make sure that we had packed everything and we checked out. We caught the ever faithful train to the Sentral Station before boarding the train to the airport. As you can see from the pictures below, Mel was rather sad to be leaving the beautiful and oh-so-clean Kulala Lumpur.

After we had checked our bags in, we decided that we simply had to have Nando's! Seeing it around the city and not having a chance to eat it, had made us very sad. Luckily there was one at the airport and it was so great! It even prompted us to ask for some Nando's sauce to be sent over with our goodies from SA (thanks Lyndall!).

We arrived back to a flooded and dirty HCMC. It was great to get back to our apartment, but Malaysia - we will definitely be back! If the rest of the country is anything like KL, then we know we'll love it!

Travellers hint: 
The train is super easy to use, if you aren't sure how to buy your token then ask someone at the information desk. Most people speak English in Malaysia so it's easy to ask. The quicker you get acquainted with the train the better. It's fast and cheap!

There are two terminals at KL airport. Find out which one you are flying from so that you don't get off the train too soon! The furtherest terminal is for low-cost airlines (like AirAsia).

We stayed in a hotel called "The Sandpiper". The room was small but very comfortable and it was nice and centrally located.
