KL - Part 2, Nov 6, 2010

With Batu Caves crossed off the list, I was back to the base, changed my gear and hopped on to one of the KL's Hop-On Hop-Off Double Decker buses. Make no mistakes, no matter where you are from, or how short your stay in KL,  1 day on this bus and you'll know more about KL than most locals. I am not saying that - the locals are ;)

It's an ingineous idea - these buses go around the length and breadth of the city, to popular tourist destinations, you can hop-off at any of these spots, explore your brains out and then catch the next bus which will take you to the next stop. All buses follow the same route with city's history on offer to anyone who cares to listen.

So here I was - on that bus hopping around from one destination to the other - whether it was around the quiet dwellings of KL's bureaucratic ways -
or the roadside attractions which are more often than not taken for granted,

The thing is - you don't always remember the most obvious of places, but the minute details of the streets you roamed, pavements you walked on and the roads you crossed which have left a firm imprint on your mind and made you truly believe that you WERE INDEED there.


This was just the beginning of the day - I was like funnily possessed to visit as many sites as I could in the little time that I had - it was like going thru emails (you look at the title and if anything interests you, you care to browse thru it - otherwise you just move on..  )

On the way came a bird park which offered some lovely opportunities for some fine photography
