Monday November 15th
No, we’re not going to the disco – this is just on the way to breakfast!
We’ve spent our last few hours in Kuala Lumpur – and on holiday – exploring our own hotel and the shopping malls near us.
The hotel is vast - a little different from the Swansea Marriott! - and is linked to the Ritz Carlton.
Also linked to the hotel is the Starhill gallery with boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and cafes, spas and every designer name you can think of. A watch containing actual material from the moon caught Paul’s eye, but at £38,000 he decided he didn’t need one.
What we find amazing are the very western images of Christmas everywhere – snow, reindeer, Christmas trees, assistants in Christmas hats and so on. In 30°+ heat and 80% humidity it seems quite strange. We forgot to mention the Christmas carols everywhere– including Andrea Bocelli singing “White Christmas”. You’d get good odds against that happening out here!
So we’re back in the hotel now, writing our last piece for this blog and preparing ourselves for the long journey home. It’s now pouring with rain, so we hope Dave and Sue aren’t experiencing this weather on holiday a little way up the coast.
We’ve had an incredible time and seen and done so many amazing things, and met lots of great people, but we’re ready to come home and catch up with friends and family. We’re even more ready to stop living out of a suitcase!
Thanks to all who’ve kept in touch and followed our adventures. See you soon!
