We chose to visit KL after seeing Matt Lauer stand on the sky bridge of the Petronos Twin Towers during who's recent "Where in the world is Matt Lauer?" We were not disappointed. The Marriott was located about 1/2 a mile from the Towers but everything is connected by elevated walkways. Central KL is a shopping mecca and we were surprised at the size (think Tyson's Mall) and number of them. I had to get to the Towers by 0800 to be sure we would get one of the 1600 tickets allocated each day to visit the top floor observatory and Sky Bridge. Before our scheduled 18:00 visit we visited the Central Market which has been in place since 1888 and walked through Chinatown. Compared to the homogeneous cities we had already visited, Malaysia is a true melting pot of Chinese, Indian, and Malay cultures. The Petronos Towers are an incredible sight from both a distance as well as well as up close. We had the chance to look out over KL from nearly 1,000 feet above ground level and then having the chance to walk across the sky bridge which connects the two towers (60 meters long) and is a mere 43 stories in the air. The video on how they built the Towers and placed the sky bridge were fascinating. However, the real treat was when we returned to the Towers after a late dinner and saw them lit up - see the photos. The next morning we met our tour guide who took us to the Batu Cave which is a large grotto with an open roof - think of a natural Pantheon but ten times as big. It also is the site of a large Hindu Temple. One of the things that makes a visit to the caves particularly exciting is the wild monkeys as you climb the 292 steps. We were fortunate to walk up the middle staircase and, more importantly, not have any bags or food. We watched somewhat comically as fellow tourists were "held up" by the monkeys and forced to give up their belongings which. The monkeys then proceeded to either devour the food items or play with any other inanimate object. I think some of the folks really did not realize these were wild animals. We continued a brief tour of the city seeing Independence Square, the National Mosque and a lunch in little India which was picked out by our guide. No English or utensils here! Our guide ordered us the banana leaf special which was a set of vegetable dishes served on a giant banana leaf eaten by hand. Some nan and butter chicken rounded out an interesting meal which is a precursor to Delhi. Following lunch we headed out for the hour long drive to KL airport for our flight to Phuket.
