Sunday 10th December 2006...

3:30 am is not a good time to be awake drinking cups of tea! The wonders of jet lag…. Eventually fell back asleep at 5:00 and awoke at 9:15am. Up and out to catch the KLIA train to KL Central. Very nice, clean and punctual. Lovely rendition of Jingle Bells along with other Christmas classics.
Arrived in KL Central and got another train (KL URT) to KL City Centre. Walked out into the blistering heat and humidity of KL, heading for the Petronas Towers. Unfortunately we arrived to find that all tickets had gone at 8:30 to walk across the sky bridge. (maybe we should have gone there when we were awake at 3:30!) We were both gutted as I had managed to psyche myself up to do it – and wanted to be one up on Ben. We decided to go up the Menara Tower which is much taller and allows better views of the city. After a 1.5 mile walk, Dave lost half his body weight in sweat (nice!) and I was even glowing slightly! The views from the top were pretty good and the Petronas Towers looked tiny – beat you there Ben!!
Got a taxi back to the Petronas Towers then spent far too long wandering round the large selection of shops on offer. Quick photo session in the park before thunder and lightning started.
Back at the hotel by 6:30 (I was catching flies on the way back on the train!). I stopped for a manicure and pedicure whilst Dave went to the gym. Back to Degrees for another lovely dinner (Dave had Thai soup which blew his head off!) then to bed for about midnight.
