I'm desperately trying to play catchup during the four days we are at sea heading up the Red Sea toward Jordan.
I know. That was a sentence I never imagined myself typing.
Ok...back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Laird decided to have what we call on the World Cruise a "sea day on land"....and, given that he had just been introduced to my shipboard "posse", I imagine the idea of being the lone male in a gaggle of females for an all-day excursion might have been a bit daunting.
Ada had arranged for a car and driver to make the 90-minute trek from port into Malaysia's capital city. It was the perfect way to see everything we wanted to.
First stop, the Chinese temple.
Les Girls. Elizabeth-with-a-zed, Elisabeth-with-an-s, Ada, Che and Barbara.
Sorry Parking?
The temple had a park with sculptures of the Chinese zodiac animals. Me and my rat.
Never fails to entertain my family that "I am a Rat"... but do the adjectives fit? I'll leave that up to others to decide.
Next stop, the King's Palace.
This might even have been the same guard I saw last time I was here...
It was hot.
We complained about it.
(If we had only known what was laying in wait for us in the Middle East...)
Our guide took us to see the Grand Mosque...
(it was Friday and we couldn't go in....)
And to see the birthplace of KL.
All roads lead from KL.
And no stop to Kuala Lumpur would be complete without a visit to the Petronas Towers.
A little lunch, a little shopping, and we were ready to head back to the ship. A little Malaysian heat goes a LONG way!!!

Dear E, you probably know it already, but as far as I know (as in remember), I'm also a rat. We are two proud rats, right?
