So we take off to KL from HK

Quite an interesting cloud formation with being sandwiched between them

Coolio

I can see land…fascinating patterns those terraces make.

A road crossing the mounts

Nice lake

A boat turning from a river which is full of oil..

A farmhouse

Palm trees as far as the eye can see

 photo 618-IMG_5218_zps25df7f93.jpg  photo 619-IMG_5221_zps287c4d40.jpg

More construction and now we are landing so had to put the camera away

Hello? >

That’s Jackie Chan!

 

 photo 210-IMG_6609_zps1ce374d6.jpg 

And then I jump into the train

 photo 211-IMG_6611_zps88957bcc.jpg 

Huge amounts of construction going on

 photo 214-IMG_6615_zpsfc195d49.jpg

And then the twin towers in the background…I love KL

 photo 215-IMG_6616_zpsa3a367b4.jpg 

Nice

I check into the hotel and put up the bull toy

Nice loo!

 photo 217-IMG_6636_zps9d297478.jpg 

Nice view

After seeing the amazing vista, I head back

 photo 476-IMG_4807_zpse2e5a663.jpg

Walking back to the entrance

 photo 478-IMG_4813_zps13129af6.jpg

Hmmm, im feeling a bit peckish, but those sausages look divine

and tea boiled eggs

 photo 578-IMG_6590_zpsfd92f939.jpg

and got a corn on the cob

And had a blonde roasted

Now there’s some serious chopsticks

Heading back

 photo 491-IMG_4852_zpsf634bfd2.jpg  photo 492-IMG_4855_zps12e9921e.jpg

And looking back, next time I am back, I am going to go climb that mountain! So help me Buddha.

Another island being born..

Looking down at the gorge, well, a mini gorge

 photo 505-IMG_4900_zpse96f956e.jpg  photo 506-IMG_4906_zpsefe4ed29.jpg

Crossed the ridge and now we can see the airport.

Looking to the right

A junk heading in

 photo 553-IMG_5041_zps0d5cdf29.jpg 

But life goes on

 photo 554-IMG_5044_zps37e8c05e.jpg

Some eat and some have their toes taken care of

 photo 555-IMG_5047_zps48100a38.jpg

Man, the pretentiousness is just sloshing around

 photo 558-IMG_5053_zps011f8a60.jpg
