Today we went to the top of the Petronas towers which gave us a brilliant view of the city. It was 86 floors up.
We were disappointed that the sky bridge was closed for maintenance but the trip up the tower was worth it.
We took a taxi from there to Putrajaya, about half an hour from KL. This city (which we'd seen on TV on the world's strongest man competition) has been built since 1996 and is the Malaysian administrative capital, housing all the government buildings.
As the city is built around a man made lake (formerly a palm oil plantation) we had a tour by boat, which ended up being a private tour as no one else booked onto it! 45 min later we had seen the main sights and went back to KL for lunch and some air conditioning, in the malls.
We experienced or first rain of the trip as we left the mall. A torrential downpour and thunderstorm for over half an hour made the humidity drop and we took shelter in the park until we collected the luggage from our apartment and caught the transfer to the airport for the long journey home, which began on a 3 week old KLM plane!!
