Monday morning, we headed straight for the Batu Caves north of the city center. This is where I saw the most white people in any country yet. There were so many people on the train and they all looked like hippies or wanderers or very pale Swedish people who had no business wearing tank tops and shorts if they don't want to look like tomatoes later (I feel Chris and I were in this latter category but we had long sleeves and pants on-lol). At first, I was intimidated by the hundreds of steps you have to climb, but it wasn't as bad as I thought, and the views and monkeys were totally worth it. Beware of the wildlife!
This one had a baby on it!
Once at the top, there was a big cavern with multiple shrines in it that people were getting blessing from and praying in, and then even more stairs led to another temple/shrine where the sun was shining in and even more monkeys were hanging around.
After the climb up and back down, we stopped at one of the small restaurants near the entrance and bought a cold coconut they chopped the top of for us to drink and once we had finished it we asked them to chop in half and got to eat the flesh. It was a great and refreshing snack.
Next stop (because more rain was in the forecast) the aquarium near the Petronas tower so we could end the day there and watch the sunset from the top...
