after a long overnight bus ride we made it to kuala lumpur. luckily the seats laid way back so we actually got some sleep, but not as much as we would have liked. the bus was supposed to arrive in k.l. at 0600, but it arrived at 0330 instead. usually one is very happy when a bus arrives early, however this time we were not so much, as we had hoped to get a night's sleep on the bus. so then we had to find a place to crash for a couple of hours. zoe and i sat with the bags while thomas had to run around and try and find a free room.
he found one, and we all crashed out until about 9. within a few hours we were situated at the hotel that we had booked from thailand, with a private bathroom and a nice big bed. then it was time for lunch and shopping. zoe really got into her noodles, such a character. we headed over the computer mall and got our mac fixed as it had crashed a few hours before leaving home. the second hard disk to go bad in one and a half years. what do they mean macs are more reliable? luckily it was not that difficult or expensive to replace the harddrive. we cruised around the shopping area while the technician did his stuff. sadly low yat shopping mall was not as cheap as it was when we were here nearly 4 years ago.
we did find some things were. after way too many hours wandering around in the crowds, we headed back and picked up our computer and headed to our wonderful clean bed for a good night's sleep
the next day we hit chinatown, lots of people and lots of knock-offs. was hot hot hot! made us long for the beach. we stopped on some hotel steps and enjoyed some fresh fruit. zoe thought that mango on a stick was great fun
later on we headed back to low yat, and decided to buy another laptop. cannot trust that the mac won't break down again, makes it hard to build websites traveling without a computer. so now, as if traveling with two full scuba kits and two underwater cameras and housings was not enough, we now have two laptops too. talk about traveling with a load.
