Day 134  Dec 15 2014  Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

We were planning on staying awake until 7 pm but it never happened, we were all asleep by 3:30 pm and did not wake up till 4 am.  We went to the Batu Caves which is a large Hindu temple built into a cave.  You have to climb 272 stairs to get to the cave entrance plus more once you are inside.  It was surprising to find buildings with many vendors selling trinkets and snacks inside the temple.  I was also surprised by the amount of garbage strewn around the inside of the temple and by some guy with the religious paint on his forehead taking a wiz on the floor beside the porta-potti.  There was another cave a little way towards the train which is setup with many religious statues and figurines depicting Hindu lore.  I found it much more interesting than the temple itself.  We took the train to the Petronas Towers but could not go to the bridge as it is closed on Mondays.  We did however go to the Petronas Discovery Center which is a science center inside the Petronas Towers.  We spent quite a few hours there but did not get to see it all before closing.  When we got back to the apartment the kids  crashed on their bed, I had to force them to get up to eat supper.  We were all asleep by 8:30 pm.
