Arrived early in the morning and we are going to meet up with another friend, lynn, who will be traveling with me to Cambodia and Vietnam after KL. We checked into the new Doubletree by Hilton. I heard it is a refurbished hotel, meaning old building but all brand new renovation. It looks very nice. I am a diamond member for Hilton group but the executive lounge hasn’t been ready yet. Instead, they gave me a whole list of temporary benefits including free laundry, free breakfast, free drinks and food at the bakery all day and free alcohol drinks at the bar during happy hour...WOW...amazing isn’t it. Havnt been able to thorough washed my clothes in the last 19 days....my opportunity has come...i gave them all my dirty laundry to wash and they all came back nice and clean the next day hanging in my closet..amazing..
It is very hot in KL during noon time, therefore, we took it easy a bit before we headed out to Batu cave. It is actually a very important holyhand of the hindu religion. A huge gold statute was built in front of a limestone cave which was 4 million years old. Climbing the 272 stairs up and you will find a giant cave with more hindu statues and temples and of course, lots of monkey. Not far from the Batu Cave, there is a monkey temple with a giant colorful monkey god statue.

After the up and down the stairs at the cave, we were determined to try all the good foods offered in KL. Lynn especially loves eating good food. We went restaurant-hopping...we would go into a restaurant only order their most famous dish to try on. After that, we moved on to the next...kinda like bar hopping..:-)
