Simply cycling around
Third point of view of the Petronas towers (it might be the last one for me because I get a bit tired of taking the same thing since 3 days). Tonight we got to the Menara Tower but this view is not free of charge… 52Ringgit to get to the first floor behind windows or 104Ringgit to reach the rooftop. Seriously?! That’s a bit super expensive for just a view on a concrete jungle… Naturally the top floor must be very nice but well… That’s out of our budget…
Second night spent in the city. Stephane made some research about the best view in KL and one of them is the lake view. So we took our respective camera and cycled their. The weather is still very dry tonight, lucky us!
After a rest day in Ampang, we decided to cycle to the city centre again and catch some shots of the petronas towers. They are actually very photogenic. It’s kind of hard to miss a shot. If you expect to see something else than the towers don’t click on this post haha :-)
For the last night in Malacca we decided to visit one more time Jonker Street, the famous market that’s opened every friday, Saturday and Sunday night. As usual, the street is packed with tourists from all over the world. The clever thing here is that they alternate shops and food stand so there is always something to buy. Personally, I don’t need anything as I’m carrying enough stuff already.
Today, Stephane proposed to have another go in the city around 5pm until dinner time to take some more pictures. Kasia, Juliano and myself followed. First, we came back to the flashy painted wall, then walked along the river until we found a place where to eat. Finally we came back towards the centre and found some nice street arts.
Today we didn’t do much things apart repairing our bicycles, bags, clothes. In that backpacker, I met Shen from California and Dang from Philippines. Both of them are working at the hostel. Shen is on his way to become a freelance developer. We have lots of things to exchange :-) Later tonight, we did a bicycle tour and went to… that mosk… again. I’ve been there 3 times now!
Second day spent with the Thai cyclists. During their trip they rely a lot on temples. Thailand has a lot of them apparently. They provide free food and accommodation for anyone. Singapore has its lot of temples too. Tonight we will sleep in one of them. This is going to be my first time. This afternoon the temple surroundings were occupied by huge tents and other installations. Hundreds of Chineses were here for the celebration. Again, for the first time I’m enjoying a festival like this one. Lots of discoveries today :-)
