Arriving in KL

We have arrived! In KL at least. The plane took off from Stansted at 1:25am and we arrived local time at 9:30pm. This was a bit disorientating seeming as the only thing to do on the flight was sleep and we were arriving a couple of hours before bedtime. KL airport is about 50km or so from the city so it took a bit of ringgit to get to Chinatown by taxi and we just got the first hotel we could see. By this point it was about 11pm so we went out for some munch and found a good street joint where we gorged on fried rice, beef noodles and sweet and sour chicken. Absolutely heroic as a first meal.

Slightly less heroic were our body clocks, meaning we only got 4 or so hours sleep before getting up at 5am to face the day. We asked the concierge if there was anywhere to get breakfast and he raved about the good eats in Chinatown. I suspect we have different ideas about what constitutes a good breakfast because the only place we could find was a porridge place, but not the lovely oaty goodness from home, rice porridge, with chicken or fish. At 5am?! Oh well, it will suffice until breakfast take 2 after this internet stop. I'm quite happy to see daylight for the first time in a couple of days and Tim's quite excited about buying some trainers. He's currently sporting a fetching goatee, just for bants. We'll see how it goes down with the KL ladies.

So be assured that we are safe and sound and looking forward to arranging a trip up to Penang and the Cameron highlands.
