ON-ROUTE VIA KUALA LUMPUR

Had a fairly good flight to Malaysia, the seats and entertainment were excellent, but very disappointed with the Business Class service on this leg of our journey. The boys only had a couple of bread rolls to eat as they'd run out of the main meal they wanted, and there was no deserts left!! However, The Regent Hotel in KL was amazing. We had two fantastic adjoining rooms and the food and service was stunning. Breakfasts were great, although we couldn't get our head round Benjamin having Chicken Curry and Rice for breakfast two days running!!


Unfortuntately, the weather wasn't really up to sight-seeing as it was rainy season and it poured most of the time. We did get to the towers (above) but didn't make it up them because they had run out of tickets for that day. So the high up view is from our hotel room (17th Floor) and not the towers!!

We weren't up to sight-seeing either to be honest. We were all suffering from jet-lag and on the first morning we told the boys we must try to get through to at least 8 p.m. before going to be and there was to be absolutely no cat-napping. About a hour later the boys came into our room and found us both tucked up in bed....we stayed there until about tea-time!! They soon followed suit!

Got picked up, not by the transport that they Australian High Commission had arranged, but by a mini-bus. The car they had arranged was just a "bog-standard" car and wouldn't hold much more than 2 large suitcases in the boot - let alone the 16 bags/cases we had with us!!!!! But we got to the airport in plenty of time and checked in, then we went to the Golden Club lounge and enjoyed the food and service that was there. The flight to Sydney was excellent, the service was brilliant and we were all well fed and watered. Completely different from the first leg of the journey.
