Transit to Kuala Lumpur. Another travel day, from Belum to Kuala Lumpur by bus. Beautiful scenery. We stopped to look at the Ubadiah Mosque and the Sultan Palace, both spectacular and part of the Sultan’s properties ( each province has a Sultan, like a king, head of state with no political power). Our lunch stop was at a service centre on the main highway – totally unlike any service centre in North America. There were many fruit stalls, other small food stall, coffee shops, and Both Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin Donuts. The washrooms were vast, clean and open-air. Very nice. Our highway planners could learn a lot from this.
At the Renaissance Hotel in K-L our check-in was smooth, rooms very nice and prices for everything much higher than we’ve seen. For instance in the room there is an electric kettle , but a 1-serving container of instant coffee is 12 Ringets or about $4.
We all met at a huge pool and enjoyed a refreshing swim. Many of our rooms look out toward the spectacular Petronas Twin Towers. Our evening meal was definitely the best yet, at Bijan. Beautifully presented –no lazy susan – and very testy. Attentive staff and beautiful décor.
