We got up at 10:30am and had breakfast before walking to 'Kuala Lumpur Train Station' to catch a train to the Batu Caves. It didn't take long on the train and we even had a seat, which we weren't used to after the F1 weekend mania. We actually spotted the immense staircase leading up into the limestone crags whilst we were still on the train. We approached the entrance to the 'Temple Cave' where there was a gigantic gold statue of the Hindu god of war called Lord Murugan. The statue, at 42.7 metres high, has been recorded as the tallest statue of a Hindu deity in Malaysia. We began walking up the 272 steps to the cave, passing quite a few long-tailed macaques on the way. There were a number of different shrines at the top, but the cave wall had been painted and there were metal barriers within the cave which kind of spoilt the place. However, the ceiling was 100 metres above ground level and the huge chamber was lit by daylight from several holes in the ceiling. We then walked towards the 'Dark Cave' but didn't go inside as it was, as the name suggests, very dark and you needed to pay for a guide. However, the view was amazing as you could see the city skyline. We started to make our way back down the steps, stopping near the train station entrance to admire the bright green statue of the monkey god. We got a train back and for once didn't have to wait around for one. As we were starving we went straight to 'Central Market' to eat. It was then time to go in search of 'Puduraya Bus Station' but we yet again failed to find the invisible building. We asked around and it turned out that it was closed for refurbishment, so we had to do a bit of research to find out where we could get a bus to Cherating on the east coast of Malaysia. This didn't prove too difficult in the end as we discovered two other bus stations in Kuala Lumpur.
 
Chinatown contained lots of fruit stalls and I wanted to try something new, so I bought a strange looking fruit called rambutan, which had red, spiky skin but once peeled it contained a white, sweet, juicy fruit . As we were walking around Chinatown, on our right the sky was bright blue without a single cloud in the sky and the sun was shining down brightly, yet when we looked to our left the sky was dark and it was ready to rain. The thunderstorm hit just as we got back to our B&B, so for once we didn't get caught in the rain. We later went to eat 'Chicken Clay Pot Rice' and splashed out on a Tiger, even though one bottle was about the same price as the food. We picked up another, slightly cheaper, bottle of Tiger on the way back to our room.
