Mood: Ooh... Shiny!
Music: Whatever it was they played 5 times while we we eating dinner (Rhianna, and the black eyed peas mostly)
Today started with a lie in! Woo! After that we nipped upstairs for breakfast followed by watching the second half of the Italy vs France rugby game that we'd tried to watch live the night before. As we knew the score from half time we only watched the second half but really, what a game! I've not seen a game of rugby that close for quite a while!
After that we set off for the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park. As it proudly boasts, the largest free flying aviary in the world. Here we saw loads of exotic and colourful birds all flying around us or wondering about getting chased by the rug rats that parents hadn't got hold of.
The park is quite large and it took a good couple of hours to walk around. We stopped off at one of the shows mid afternoon and it is here that Rolf is stood next to one of the eagles they had on display, once the show had finished. On the way out of the park we got to see a troupe of small local monkeys as they were fed by the tourists. The babies were rather cute as they still quite clearly hadn't gotten the grasp of jumping onto things and hanging on quite yet...
In the evening we headed back to the hotel via the old train station (a fantastic towered building) and took a chance to go through the Petronas towers to take some photos from the other side.
This evening I watched an episode of Top Gear from the BBC iPlayer, I'm slowly starting to get back up to speed. I think in Japan I might have time enough to watch a bit more.
For the record, the current thinking on that is to not go to Tokyo until the end of the two week visit and just shuffle everything else around so that it fits. I've been in touch with the travel agency a couple times this evening by email and they are starting to make the required changes to my itinerary.
