Last Day in KL

The more I see of this pace, the more I like it.  We had a quiet night in with a dvd last night but first we went to check out the infinity pool on the roof.  The led picture is taken from our lounge window on the 11th floor.

We even have an i-phone docking station; what more could a man ask?

Trouble was, it was absolutely chucking it down this morning and I had a bad night as my cold is maturing and now includes a sore throat.

We had no choice with the rain, other than to get a taxi from our hotel to galaxy Mall Ampang where Tom’s friend sells the software.  We had the usual trouble with the taxi driver not knowing where he was going.  He swore blind that Galaxy Ampang was just a small supermarket but it was exactly as Tom described it, “A crappy shopping mall full of massage places”.

Unfortunately, he was all closed up; we waited until after 11am as some of the shops said tats when they opened.  Some others said that they were open between Tuesday to Sunday.  Today’s a Monday; just my luck.

We got another taxi to Times Square and they had some kick boxing fights going on.  We headed for the donut shop for a coffee and wifi so I could try and find out where else to get software from.  Most of them came up as Plaza Low Yat but some said China town.  Either way, everything was near to Bukit Bintang so we got the monorail their.

We visited every floor and asked a few people without much luck, other than one guy walking us to the end of a row and taking us i this dodgy shop.  The guy in there said he didn’t sell software, he just installed it but he wanted 250 Ringitts to install Apple Office.  A little above the normal 10 Ringitts they normally charge.  In the end we gave up in there and went back to China town but couldn’t see anything there either.

By this time it had stopped raining but I felt dreadful and we headed back to our hotel for a spot of lunch and to book our early morning taxi and print off our flight checkin details.  I tried the dragonfly mock-tail but Claire stuck with the dreaded Tiger.

We met Tom at Ampang Point at 7pm; our doorman told us it would take at least 30 minutes to get there so we left before 6.30pm, the traffic was horrendous.  Once we got past the two policemen controlling the traffic it went back to normal and we were there in 10 minutes.

It was only a short walk to the best Korean Restaurant in KL and Tom ordered for us.  Beers and a funny clear moonshine (can't remember the name; it was strong) was the order of the day.  Claire seemed to like it very much.  The food started coming and didn't stop; we must have had 20 dishes on the table at the same time.  I think Claire took more pictures than me so maybe on her blog when we get back we will all see them.

I perked up a little once I started to get some booze down me but I still wasn't right, and I guess that it will be a long journey for me tomorrow.  At this part of your holiday, I always wish that I could magic myself home rather than having to actually travel.  Its not so bad on the way out; but I always feel a little depressed going home.  See you when we get back folks!
