We had little time to settle in too much on the ship as we had a stop in Kuala Lumpur the next day on March 14. It was a full day tour that would take us around the city to see some of the monuments. It was about an hour drive from the port into Kuala Lumpur but our guide Suzy provided some useful information along the way. We found out she spoke 7 different languages which is apparently not out of the norm as many people in the area speak several due to the many different cultures inhabiting the country. Our first stop on the tour was to the Blue Mosque. It is one of the largest mosques in the world and was quite beautiful. We did not get to go inside but did get several good pictures from across a pond that separated us from the mosque.
The next stop was to a Museum. After a quick bathroom break, which were barely more than holes in the ground, we entered the museum. The museum was broken into 4 parts. Each part outlining a different time frame in Malaysia’s history. We didn’t have a lot of time there so after a few pictures we were off again.
After that we got to see a war monument in remembrance of those who died during WWII and during Japan's invasion of Malaysia. It was getting pretty hot at that point but thankfully we were not in the sun too much and were back on the bus again.
We then got to see the Petronas Towers as well as the KL Tower. Both were really spectacular to look at and again we got some nice photos. We then drove to the main part of town where we got to see the first church the British had built along with a gentleman’s club which was over 125 years old. At this point some of the older passengers didn't want to go out in the heat but most of us got off to take pictures.
This was the last stop and it was now time to head back. Besides the heat it had been nice out all day but we got a torrential downpour during the drive back. It was a little intense as the roads got a little water logged quickly but we obviously made it back ok.
