To KL

Wed 13 April

Today we left the Price family in Penang and flew down to Kuala Lumpur to explore the city before travelling home. It was sad to say goodbye but we've got some great memories of fun times here to take home with us.

As our flight was in the afternoon we still had time to go to the wet market with James and William for food supplies and a roti. Interesting sights included the coconut stall, where fresh coconut is grated, and the many different types of fruit.

After a swim and final packing up we enjoyed a delicious curry with rice and chapatis and set off to the airport.

The journey was not without delay as the airport systems had a problem. Check in desks were working manually and the luggage conveyors were not all working. Once we found a working auto check in kiosk we had the right paperwork and had to queue for 45 min to get to the desk, but it was nothing a 2 RM (Ringitt) ice cream couldn't make more bearable.

The flight was also delayed by about 45 min but we were pleased to see our luggage quickly and our hotel transfer driver waiting. As the airport is 75 km from the centre of Kuala Lumpur it was an hour journey. By the time we arrived it was 8.30 so we had a snack and the boys went to bed.

The apartment is really central so we're looking forward to exploring KL tomorrow.
