So the results are in, "how'd it all go at the Batu Caves?" I here you cry with a slight sense of derision. No need for that! It was rather good, I tell thee. I initially thought that there'd be a massive queue to get into the tourist attraction, and about a months wait to get a parking space. When we got there however, there seemed to be more cheap random souvenier shops than there were any people. One guy was was soooo full of dispair for the want of human company, he litrially chucked him self at a pack of savage pigeons to die a slow slow slow death.

Loads of random and very weird Hindu statues and buildings, one particular one was of a cow with a human head with devil horns, Peacock tail and to prominant boobs sitting up front (not where the udders were), check pics when i upload them sometime. The stairs leading upto the caves, wasn't the 2 mile long over exaggeration by Gen we were led to believe, just a hundred metres, no probs really, few extra beads of sweats, tis all.

Inside the caves it was Mahasssive, like enought to fit a five story building in. Loads of Hindu shirnes and more random statues of their various gods dotted about. We even managed to catch some worshiping ceremony involving some very bored musicians rolling their eyes about.

After we check that part out, we book ourselves in for the tour into the real Bat Caves, where the people looking after the place had protected a very expansive eco system. Absolute Guano it was, which i mean there was a lot of it about, 2metre deep pools in fact, either side of the walk way. What a particularly bad way to go, if you tripped in. Pitch black it was inside, we only had some crummy pen torches to light the way. We were tagging along with a bunch of young canadians and one brit that had got the romantic with one bloke in the group whilst in New Zealand. Quite a good laugh they were, but some of the dumbest questions possible were asked though.
- There were a lot of Indiana Jones creepy crawlies in there, some poisonous long legged centipedes to watch out for, and a load of trap door spiders, cheers! Whose idea was this? We managed to survive it and thoroughly enjoyed being enlightened by the info given by the dry witted tour guy and seeing the weird cave formations.

Badminton in the evening, knackering. Had some guy called Boa join us from some other random group, decided to be my new self acclaimed badminton coach on the serves. It made it pretty competitive doubles game, although Gen was a little out gunned. Played a few games with Monty, and nearly died from the amount of sweat I'd released.
