21-04-2016 Bong & His 2016 KL Trip Part 1 (From KLIA to Batu Cave)

We took an evening flight from Penang to KL~

and

from KLIA,

we took a taxi directly to our hotel 

instead of airport express train to the city~

A big taxi taking 

3 passengers with 3 big bags~

and costed only RM 102.90...

It was very cheap...

Even cheaper than taking airport express train~

The next morning,

we started walking around in the city~

exploring the buildings nearby to the hotel where we stayed...

Since Andreas' room was not inclusive with breakfast,

he had his first breakfast in KL...

and this coffee shop at Jakel Mall~

From there,

we continued walking...

passing by the new shopping street near to Pasar Seni

It was about 15 minutes walk

to the nearest KTM station,

Kuala Lumpur~

We took KTM train..

to go to Batu Caves~

The train was a bit late,

and it was already a lot of tourists in that train 

heading to the same destination as well~

Well,

let's see the funny thing about KTM train~

You are not allowed to eat,

bring pets,

bring dangerous items...

And not to forget,

you are strictly prohibited from KISSING!

or doing anything 'sexual/sensual' I guess~

Another interesting thing is

coaches dedicated to woman only~

But don't worry, 

we also have mixed gender coaches~

After around 20 minutes journey,

we finally reached Batu Caves~

Wait a minute!

This is not Batu Cave~

This is another cave that costs you RM 5 to go in~

Batu Cave should be free!!

You gotta walk pass these...

temples,

statues,

animals...

Ta da,

then finally you arrive at Batu Cave!

 Climbing up the long stairs 

was not that challenging~

But combining with the humid air,

hot sun...

plus scary wild monkeys that might snatch your things~

that is sure a life time experience~

Spending less than 10 minutes,

we finally reached the TOP~

The moment Arne and Andreas reached the top,

and they thought that

they were done with the climbing and walking....

only then they realized there was even more

walking and climbing inside the cave!

Inside the cave there is this temple

where people can pray,

get some blessings~

Before we went down from the stair,

leaving Batu Cave,

we went to this Dark Cave to see what it was about~

Well,

to visit it 

you need to pay for entrance fee and touring fee~

and actually it is also more educational kind of thing...

so we decided not to go in~

So after checking everything out,

we left Batu Cave~

To be continued...

XOXO
