Singapore & Malaysia 2023 - Part 18

Batu Caves
 
Monday - August 21st 2023

Today was already our last full day in Malaysia. After breakfast we headed to the next monorai station and took the train to KL Sentral. From there we had to take another train to our final destination, the famous Batu Caves. When we arrived I was a little bit shocked to see all the monkeys romaing around and to be honest, I was scared of them, because they came really close. The Batu Caves are one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside of India. We were really impressed with the colourful temples and huge figurines, but nothing compared to the huge stairs leading up to the caves. Since it was so warm and humid, we sweated so much when walking up to the caves. I'm not sure if I sweated because of the heat, or because of the many monkeys waiting to jump on me. The caves were really amazing, but I was glad to leave about an hour later again.

Back in Kuala Lumpur we had lunch at the Food Repuclic Food Court before returning to the hotel. Unfortunately our room wasn't cleaned yet and so we got a drink at the hotel bar while we waited. After we showered and relaxed a bit, we headed to the pool only to find out it was going to close because of the rain. So we decided to spend the rest of the afternoon in the huge shopping centres of Bukit Bintang. In the evening we stopped in a German bar for beers and later we had dinner at the Food Repuclic Food Court again. Of course I we got the vegan fried chicken rice gain. For dessert we got frozen yoghurt and after spending more time in the shopping malls, we returned to our hotel.
