The Batu Caves - Kuala Lumpur

Friday morning dawned bright and clear so after filling up at the breakfast trough, we headed out to The Batu Caves, a local tourist attraction.  The steep climb up the 272 steps is well worth it, the view from the top is pretty good but the Caves are an experience as are the monkeys.








And after running the gauntlet past the monkeys..... one of our number had a serious run in as a monkey brushed past his legs.... a hairy moment as he screamed like a girl....





Bizzy bizzy.....



And just time for some light lunch before we reconvene for our afternoon sessions!  Another experience to chalk up although I confess, despite peer pressure and the encouragement to eat off banana leaves with only bare fingers... well its just not me... I struggle to eat peanuts without my cutlery so I managed the banana leaf but found the fork very useful...

Thursday in Kuala Lumpur

On Thursday afternoon, we headed out to our local KL office to meet the team.  Another great welcome where we were met with, you guessed it... more food... as well as some fun party games, Pictionary amongst them and each of us was presented with a gift of clothing.  A big thanks to the team for making us so welcome, we really enjoyed our time chatting and hearing a different slant on our world.


Next stop, The Westin Cantonese Restaurant for, yes.... more food!   Set in the heart of the designer shopping district, the lighting in the streets gave us a spectacular view as we worked out way through many courses of a well chosen banquet.

After dinner, we headed to Qba for a bit more team bonding!

Some enjoyed it more than others!
