Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia – next stop Komodo Island

Today we took a private tour, just the two of us and a guide in his car.

 

We went to see the Petronas Tower, Selangor Pewter, the Central Market, Railway station, Independent Square with the Selangor Club.

 

On the way Charles managed to find the RRI (Rubber Research Institute) on Jalan Ampang where Dad worked, the old house at 3 Jalan Eaton, which was still standing, and the Church – St Mary's Cathedral, including the font where he was christened. A nice trip back with lots of  nostalgia, but KL has changed beyond recognition.


We were at Port Klang on the boat, which is a good hour drive to KL. Also fitted in a show in the Neptune Lounge, a Lifeboat drill at 10[m, and a sail away party on the pool deck ... to bed by midnight!

 

We have a couple of days sailing to Komodo Island in Indonesia, passing Singapore about midday tomorrow, where there are dragons!
