Journey to Kuala Lumpur

7 oclock pickup
Stuck in the only traffic jam in Sabah to get to the airport, fly from Sandakan back to Kota Kinabalu, admire and be annoyed we have no camera on the plane on the fact we are flying right next to the highest mountain in South Asia - Mt Kinabalu and we can see the top above the clouds - very cool.
Pick up luggage and realise we need to go to Terminal 2 of the Airport (Kota Kinabalu is not a big place and really does not need 2 terminals). Terminal 2 is on the other side of the runway and was in fact a 10min taxi journey.
Flight to Kuala Lumpar at 12. Arrive at 3.30, get a bus to the city for 9RM each (a pound) instead of a taxi for 100RM (£12)cos we are trying to be on an unsuccessful budget. We were on the coach until about 7.30 and this wasnt because it was going everywhere but was because of the traffic. Kuala Lumpar has got a serious traffic problem. Mind you we did for some reason see the Petronas Towers from all angles. Kuala Lumpar traffic jams involves a couple of rules. 1. Its okay to go through lights on red. 2. Must beep at everyone. 3. Must swap lanes at all times. 4. Its okay if you are a scooter to drive the wrong way if it means it will help you go the right way.

When we finally did arrive we had to walk in the rain to the hotel, but luckily it was only up the road. However the best sight that we saw in Kuala Lumpar was not the Petronas Towers but NANDOS. Which of course is where we had tea..... Much better then the Nandos in Australia. I might even send them an email and inform them about this.

The hotel we are staying at called Katara may have a cosy room but has a most amazing view. We can see the Petronas Towers and the KL Tower from the bed.
