I had to go back to Blighty for most of March. Then it was my 40th birthday and people from the UK came to stay. Anyway after all of this Mrs Jardine decided it was time for a holiday and she fancied Malaysia. She had never been before but I was there about 18 years ago, as it happens just a couple of months after meeting Mrs Jardine.
We flew AirAsia from Chiang Mai which was on time. The only time in my last six flights that AirAsia had managed to keep to it's own time table. Mrs Jardine was on board this time and she is not a lady to be messed with so perhaps that's what did the trick. We arrived at KL's budget airline terminal and caught the bus into town.
We stayed down in Chinatown on Petaling Street, the Chinatown Inn. It was OK.
I am a wierd vegetarian sole but Chinatown could easily cope with my strange eating habits. This is a meal we had at the Formosa Cafe on the road parallel to our hotel's. Mock pork, Yam ring and stir fired potatoe tops.
On day one we went to the Petronas thingies and the shopping mall at there base.
They have fountains outside as well
Day 2 was a late start but we managed lunch at a Lebonise Restaurant in the Museum of Islamic Art.
From the Museum there was a good view of the National Mosque

From KL we caught the bus (2 hours) to Melaka. More of that in a bit.
