two storks After spending some time in the morning dealing with online business (a necessary evil) and packing for our evening flight, we grab a taxi and head the the KL Bird Park.

This park is the largest free flying walk-in bird park in the world. We are not on a strict time a peacock at rest restraint so we take our time and enjoy all the exhibits. Here is a short video at the stork pond.

Of course we can’t miss the parrot show. Click here for a short video.

Perdena Botanical Gardens

The first area is the orchid gardens. We get a great view of the Merdeka 118 Tower which is the second tallest building in the world after the Burj Kalif in Dubai.

The mid-day heat is sapping my strength and I just want to get into air conditioning.

The front of Museum of Malaysia We walk to the nearby National Museum of Malaysia where I am embarrassed to say, that I am more interested in the air conditioning than the exhibits. It is a good museum with prehistoric exhibits all the way to modern day.

Goodbye to the Night Market

John with a big beer in the Night Market We head back to our hotel and go to the Jalan Alor Street Night Market again for our final meal in Malaysia. John orders a huge beer with his meal and me a huge coconut. I am amazed that even though most restaurants have a menu of more than twelve or fifteen pages, you order and still receive your food in under five minutes. Unbelievable. I think I will miss this night market and all its delicious foods most of all.

The Night Market During the day in Kuala Lumpur We really enjoyed Kuala Lumpur. I was expecting a let down from Singapore but the city is clean and safe with lots to do for a stay of 2-3 days. We found that KL had a great vibe and would definitely recommend stopping here if you are in the area.
