Batu Caves. A very interesting natural marvel of the area. A cave in the sides of the mountains that has been used for worship for many centuries. Of note was the climb of 276 steps to get to the very top. A challenging climb for some of us older folk but a short jaunt for the kids.
At the top, a vast array of shrines, art and artifacts decorating the walls. At One particular shrine, you could pray with the local priest and get anointed with colored paste. One of the quirky thins inside was the abundance of monkeys. Probably 60 or so small monkeys around the area. They liked shiney things and food! Although wild, they seemed to be very calm around the general public and non aggressive. Once everything had been viewed, it was back DOWN the 276 steps to the ground.
A bit of free time and you guessed it, shopping. A last chance to go out and get that Rolex, Coach purse, or Jimmy Chu shoes. Tonight we went to the Malaysian Cultural Center for dinner and a show. A fantastic buffet feast of food for every taste and palat. Everyone quite literally filled up on their favorite foods. After the dinner was the show. Displaying local dances and music, the entertainers worked hard to demonstrate a little bit of Malaysian history. After dinner,a monorail ride back to the hotel.
