We were picked up and transferred to Rome airport as had
been pre-arranged. There were two other
passengers – an Indian man and his Mum.
We nodded politely ‘Gday’ was his response with an Aussie accent. He was from Canberra, so we had a lovely chat
about our experiences in Rome and also about Canberra and Hobart. We really enjoyed just speaking without
having to worry about making ourselves understood or understanding what was
being said to us – it was very enjoyable.
Once at the airport I had to join the queue up for ages to
get my tax papers stamped for the bracelet I had bought. We boarded the plane eventually and it took
off at 1.15pm. We watched a couple of
movies, managed to sleep and the time seemed to pass ok. We arrived in Kuala Lumpur at 1am Rome time
but 7am Kuala Lumpur time.
We got through immigration and baggage collection quickly
and met our transfer driver. It took an
hour from the airport to our accommodation – the Traders Hotel.
I crawled into bed at 9am – I was in bed before the porter
could even deliver our bags to the room.
We both woke at 5pm, time to get showered and ready to go and
investigate our surroundings and gets some dinner.
The Petronis Towers are just a five minute walk away and
are part of our view from the 15th floor. The park is lovely with a lake and a water
spout display. Steps have the double use
as seats as people watch the water display. It is nice but in a theatrical way
rather than authentic. We had fish and
chips which we enjoyed immensely.
We wandered about till dark when the lights come on in the
Petronis Towers – quite a sight. It is
very humid and we are both ready to head back to our huge king size bed –first
that size since we left home – and back to sleep.
