Wake up feeling like we need more sleep (even though we’ve had over 10 hours) but a good night’s sleep nevertheless – bloody jet lag!

Down for some hotel breakfast – they have a large buffet with all sorts

Pancakes for Daisy, of course, and pastries with some experimental noodles for Dave

Back up to get ready for the day and head out

Walk a different way than yesterday – peaceful stroll with the KL Tower in sight

Stop off at Sloaft Cafe for another caffeine hit and an adorable looking warmed apple crumble pastry to share

Continue onwards to Chinatown

Massive flea market with stalls selling all sorts – even pretty good knock off goods

Views of Merdeka 118

This leads us towards Kasturi Walk, another very small and cleaner flea market

We follow the road around to the water: River of Life

This is an ongoing project in the city to rejuvenate the waterway and encourage wildlife and people to the area

Across the bridge, on the Western side, is the British-made area with the Sultan Abdul Samad Government Building and the Merdeka Square

The square is currently under renovation but very pretty still and has a giant Malaysian flag as well as many others

The square is in honour of Malaysia’s liberation from the UK in 1957, just a decade after India!

Following the road south, we find the National Mosque of Malaysia – closed for non-muslim tourists today it seems

It’s next to Kuala Lumpar’s main train station

Up the hill is a large garden and we go in to get to KL Bird Park

It’s the largest free-flight, walk-in aviary in the world!

So many sorts of birds and one is giving a gentleman’s shoes some security issues!

They have pelicans, stalks, ibis, egrets, peacocks and, most importantly, hornbills (Malaysia’s national bird)

Dave spots that there’s a bird show on so we run over for that

They have macaws and cockatoos singing and dancing

Macaws/parrots have 7x better eyesight than humans!

Back to investigating the park

After, we get a taxi back to the Chinatown flea market and buy a couple bits we’d seen before (but now have a little bit of cash to actually purchase)

Time for a break – we go to Crane KL for a little happy hour of two tiger beers

Now off for some dinner – not too far but it’s hot and the taxi fares are cheap

To Pavillion Mall 7th floor at Roast Duck Restaurant

Naturally have to have Peking duck but also have Kung Po chicken with Singapore noodles – yummy!

We opt to stroll home to help dinner go down
