Last full day in Kuala Lumpur

Today has been fun, very active and mostly on the go.
I decided to lie in and miss breakfast as I wanted some extra kip as I'm still getting used to the 7 hour time difference. I then went downstairs to the cafe outside and ordered a garlic naan for 3 ringetts (thats about 60p). It is the biggest garlic naan I have ever seen, seemed to fill me up until dinner.We did a little more planning for our next location and then went down to the pool (its kind of our own private pool as hardly any other people use it).

We headed off to visit the Kuala Lumpur Tower and the petronas towers. Both visible from our hotel room and beautiful buildings which cannot be left unvisited when visiting Kuala lumpur.
We got the city monorail to the stop nearest the KL Tower and travelled via a free shuttle bus to the bottom of the tower.It was 38 ringgets for an activity ticket which allowed us to goto the top of the KL Tower, drive an F1 simulator, ride a pony and visit a small zoo.
38 ringetts works out at around 7 pounds. For a full days busy tourist attraction inner city.
The pony ride was fun, apart from the fact we were all too heavy to ride one, so we just had our pictures taken on one.

After leaving the KL Tower and surrounding attractions we headed towards the Petronas (twin) towers. We could only access the towers from the bottom but were still a great sight to see.

On the way to the towers we saw a TGI fridays, which Ben immediately fancied for his tea. Me and Ben had Ribs and chips, Jamie had Pasta and it was a nice "western" treat as a change.

After our meal we headed to the central market where we found a fantastic feet and hands relaxology place. Basically, you put your hands and feet in a fish tank and let fish eat at the dead skin. They nibble which acts as a foot vibrator and our hands and feet are as smooth as ever ha.

We're getting up early in the morning for packing, breakfast, a short swim and then set sail to the airport for our flight to penang.
