Everything has an end (... except for the sausage?!)... Well, back to the essentials: Our journey took us from Borneo back to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.
Since we had only been at the airport so far and hadn't had time to explore the city in detail, we planned the last 5 days for this. Sightseeing was of course at the top of the list ;-)
You can see what we did in the five days here:
KL Eco Forest: After 3 months of searching, our 1st Canopy Walk, as the previous ones had always been closed... From here we had a great and green view of the KL Tower, the seventh tallest television tower in the world!And then they were there: the Petronas Towers! The tallest twin towers in the world! And next door there were huge shopping malls again!!The KLCC Park, which is right next to the Petronas Towers.Beautifully right next to the skyscrapers a green spot! There was also a small water paradise for children in the park! With this heat, we would have liked to be small again... You could spot them from anywhere in the city.. As it started raining (better: pouring), we went to the aquarium, where there was a 90m long aquarium tunnel that you could walk through on a treadmill (very Asian-style).. ... and saw the occasional shark, which you would rather not encounter while diving.. :-D.. but also beautiful creatures, who definitely look happier in the open sea.. ;-) In the evening, the path led back to the towers.. ...for the water show that takes place here every evening! The next morning we went to the famous Batu Caves - a Hindu temple complex in a huge limestone cave!Lots of stairs and of course lots of tourists..Inside there were a few temples to discover.. One mall exceeded the other in size and offerings.. Incredible..Discovered while mall hopping: A dedicated indoor amusement park with a roller coaster!!! Asians are crazy.. :-D A rooftop bar (during the day a helicopter landing pad) is a great place to enjoy a delicious cocktail..... and end the evening with a beautiful sunset and music mmmh delicious beer!! And then a perfect sunset said goodbye behind the buildings At night the lights went on and everything reminded us of Times Square in NY.. And 10000000 people were on the streets!View from the KL Tower of the city - beautiful rain front approachingHuge buildings! We went further up to the open deck in the evening, as the platform was closed during the day due to the rain.. So we took a little walk around the Petronas TowersLast evening: Beer and burgers at the Hard Rock Cafe... You have to treat yourself sometimes ;-) And then we could see the city from above again at night from the KL Tower.. ... it was simply beautiful from up here.. And so Bye Bye KL!
And so we were at the airport at 8pm and looked back on the exciting time and the indescribably beautiful journey we have behind us... but slowly but surely the anticipation of being back home outweighed!
We started from Kuala Lumpur via Doha to Frankfurt, each with the Boeing 777-300! Arriving in Frankfurt, we then took the ICE train to our home!The next morning, after 3 months, we finally got to have our favorite rolls from Bäcker Hoffmann with ham and cheese on the terrace!!! We were so happy - sometimes it's the little things in life that make you happy ;-)
We arrived healthy and sound in beautiful Müden an der Örtze - thank you to everyone who kept their fingers crossed for us!
Thank you also for following our blog and for your kind words before and during the journey! We are looking forward to seeing all of you again and are excited to hear what you have been up to in the meantime!
Until then, take care, survive the hot days, and stay healthy!
One last time: Best regards, Thea & Clem
And with that, we conclude this blog... maybe until the next big trip, because 'traveling is the most beautiful way to spend money and still become richer'
