So after a week in Malaysia it was time to move on.

This sunset shot was taken from the KL Tower a communications tower Kuala Lumpur with an observation deck which is about 275 metres above ground level (the tower itself is 421 metres high).

Taken in Kuala Lumpur's Bird Park - we were lucky enough to arrive at the Kite enclosure just as the keepers were seeting up to feed the birds.

The Brahminy Kite is a bird of prey and is fed a diet of meat and in this case a dead mouse!

So, arrived in KL 24 hours later than planned. Which was unfortunate as we had a tight schedule ahead of us. This is a nihgt view of the city - unfortunately the Petronas Towers are obscured by other buildings here, but more about them later...
