Day 1 - Arrival in KL

Yesterday we touched down in KL at about 5:30pm local time. The flight was empty and allowed us plenty of room to spread out and catch up on some sleep. That said, it obviously didn’t provide quite enough as I’m up at 6am writing my first blog (either that or its due to the time difference).

Caroline and Martin (my aunt and uncle to the majority) met us at the airport and drove us back to there apartment, some 20mins away towards KL city centre. On route we got to see the local landscapes……high-rise buildings being very predominant with what appeared to be a jungle like environment either side of the motorway.

Arriving at there apartment, the view was just breathtaking and it was at this point that it finally sunk in…….. “the year” away had begun.

After toasting the occasion with a Tiger and freshening up from the flight we headed into the local suburb to get a light evening meal. The street gave off a very holiday feel through a combination of the sweltering heat (31 degrees), the local hustle and bustle with the random street seller enquiring on whether you wish to buy any of their “bricker-bracker”. Afterwards we returned to the apartment of where we retired for the night.

Tomorrow Adam and I venture into the city centre alone, hopefully not getting lost on route……. Should be fun….
