Our adventures in Australia

Our adventures in Australia

Saturday, 22 November 2014

Had Chinese in Bukit Bintang, an area full of noisy, reasonably priced restaurants and pubs, on Friday evening, very lively and good fun. A rat ran over Shaun's foot but just added to the entertainment!
We started Saturday with breakfast in Toast Box, which was an odd experience - boiled eggs with everything. The French toast was delicious accompanied by very runny eggs and sugary coffee which was poured from a watering can :-o we have not got the hang of asking for drinks without sugar, it is just added automatically. Zoe even had apple juice with sugar in it last night, I hope this enforced sugar intake will not make us too attractive to mosquitoes.
After breakfast we set off to Batu Caves, Hindu temples set in cliffs just outside Kuala Lumpur. We got the train there, we have really got the hang of the excellent train system and our hotel is directly opposite KL Sentral station. It was great, plenty to see and monkeys to do battle with, a very good place to visit.






 After all this sightseeing and culture
we decided to do something completely different so Zoe and Shaun suggested we visit Breakout, a mystery activity centre they had been to a branch of in Penang.
So off we set, not really knowing what to expect and found ourselves playing the parts of scientists who had to stop a murderous attack on civilisation. We were handcuffed and locked in a room and had to 
             solve various clues to free ourselves and save the world.
                                                      We succeeded and left with badges and a satisfied feeling
                                                      that the world is a safer place thanks to us!
