A big jump in the blog, too many things we have seen, too many photos, little time on internet, life is away from the computer...
Back in South East Asia now, Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur first stop.
Coincidentally, we landed on the day of the Thaipusam Festival and it was happening just right where we wanted to spend our first day in Kuala Lumpur, The Batu Caves, 15kms north of the city. This meant the caves were going to be crowded but how special to be able to see something like this once in your life.
I wasn't quite prepared for such devotion from people, I knew of it but to see it right in front of your eyes, absolutely unique. I put a selection of our pictures and there is the link to the BBC website that tells you more about the Festival, what is the point for me in copying and pasting what they say, just go there, it is very interesting:
