Our first morning in KL (even the locals seem to call it that), we did some grocery shopping at a regular supermarket. In the afternoon we decided to head downtown to look at the city center. There are a lot of buses, but Google usually estimates 1.5 hours for them to go anywhere. Lots of stops and traffic is terrible here. So we tried the LRT, which is an above ground monorail. It is quite modern and clean. Pretty soon we got close to downtown.
We had dinner in the mall under the Petronas Twin Towers. I wasn’t really interested in going up the twin towers, but there is another tower nearby called the Kuala Lumpur Tower that has good views that I wanted to see. It was getting close to sunset so we hustled over there. It turns out the KL Tower, which is a communication tower is based on the top of a hill. A bit tiring rushing up hill in 90F high humidity weather. The KL Tower observation deck is at 335m, but due to the hill the perspective is above the Petronas Tower peak of 375m.
Made it just in time for sunset. Pretty cool view, there was a rain storm over part of the city and the red light made it seem, so ominous. These pics don’t do it justice.
After sunset we took an Uber home.
