First days in KL

Ayesha, Kath & Howie here at the Renaissance Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Been a hard day of shopping at the Central Market, where this happened...

We found some doctor fish who clean your feet. It was really weird and ticklish, as you can see from Mum's face.  (We wanted to upload a video, but there's some sort of tech-glitch.  Just as well, because Mum's knickers did flash while she was shrieking and squirming).

All the markets and shopping centres that we've been to have been HUGE. There were thousands of people and one was 9 stories high with a theme park inside. Dad and I don't like thrill rides, but if someone else was there (Smithy!) Mum would've gone on the roller coaster (she's mad).

We've never stayed in a 5 star hotel before (though Mum stayed in some when she was a kid) and it's strange to hear Dad called Mr Gaskin all the time. Sometimes we don't realise who they're talking to. Here's the swimming pool, which is bigger than our house.

Howie wants a job driving the monorail. Simpsons fans sing now... Monorail! Monorail!

Kath's note:  Howie and I suffer odd travellers' guilt staying in salubrious surrounds like these but we get over it quickly whenever we go down to the buffet breakfast.

More from us when we get to Blighty. xxx
