Malaysia Trip -Part 2

Coninued from the previous post....

Got up at 6:30 in the morning . Ordered for a Hot Milo through the Room service since the time of breakfast was not sure and i cannot survive until then :D . Everyone was there at time except the Van .He was in the vicinity within 15 minutes of everyone arriving. Headed for Batu Caves ( a temple ) ,hmmmmm a religious start indeed .

The place was wonderful .A huge statue of Murugan in front of the Caves with steps on the left side leading you to the caves .Everyone left their footholds in the van itself and started towards the temple. Climbed almost 200 steps till the caves. Nice caves. There is a row of gods at the entrance of the caves.
Although it is not well maintained ,the natural beauty is to be admired . The natural light coming from the ceiling lights up the otherwise dark caves .Lot of our ancestors where the main attractions eating the coconut and other prasadam.On the main level of the caves there is a temple where the pooja had just finished and they were distributing the prasadam. I too joined the queue and the tasty Pulliogare + Sweet Pongal + Channa. It was really tasty .Obviously after climbing so many steps empty stomach it had to be tasty ;-) .Spend some time there in the caves and then descended down .

There are lot of pigeons down ,they gather and then fly away together to a particular roof and then from roof back again to the ground. Its really nice to see so many pigeons flying together .I was sitting and clicking photos when suddenly all the birds flew ,oh the rattling sound of their wings was great !!!

Took a tender coconut for later use because weather was very hot . Ditched the breakfast as the Prasadam had filled my stomach .Packed idli for lunch since it was heard that getting Vegetarian food in the place we were heading to ,is difficult. Everyone packed their lunches and we were again on the wrecked bus to Genting HighLands.

Genting Highlands is a Hill station sort of a place .Quite similar to Ooty .As we climbed the mountain the weather was becoming cooler. We could see the clouds covering the top portion of the hills ,it was nice ,those curvy roads, the cool breeze .

We reached the cable car starting point. Cable Car ride was pretty long and somewhat scary. Its supposed to be the longest and fastest cable car ride .Ride was pretty good. Top of the mountain there is a Theme park and Casinos .

We headed to the Theme park. Took the ticket for All parks not delocalizing we won't be able to finish one park also. Once we entered the theme park everyone dismissed while i was keeping my bag inside the locker. Anyways i had my camera with me .so clicked few shots here and there of kids and flowers.

Then later met one of the girls who was also not entering any of the rides .Both of us went for a Boat ride and a Dragan Fly ride. That's the only rides i went in the theme park .
Rest of the day went in waiting and searching for people .Had lunch and then was ready to leave Genting Highlands ..on the way to the Exit (Kelluar as in Malaysian anguage) some people wanted to try out the Casino. There is a dress code for guys -Collared shirts and Shoes .Gals it was okay :) .No camera and bags allowed .You had to take you passport to enter the Casino .I too entered .5 of us entered but only two of us tried our luck .And i was pretty lucky ,i played for 10 RM (Ringette) and won 23 RM ..quite a good profit i must say ..compensated for not sitting on any ride . People waiting outside were getting furious so we ran outside .Took the cable car back again .It was scarier this time !!!!! Headed back to KL .Went to a place called Time Square which is a shopping mall, things were pretty costly ! I don't think anybody shopped .Then we went to Night View of Petronas towers. I had taken the tripod especially for this view.Took the petronas towers from all sorts of angles.The towers look really fantastic in the night.

After the night view ,had Dinner and went back to the hotel.
