Petronas Towers & Pool

A restless night for William, poor little mite with his chicken pox spots. He is covered all over and is a lot worse than Rebecca when she had them. Rebecca slept in the bed with us and was like an octopus sprawled out. Arms & legs all over the place. After a bad night, I sent Tony out very early to queue up for the tickets at the Petronas towers though I made a pathetic offer to go at 7am this morning.

After an extra hour or so in bed, Tony came back with a selection of fresh fruit (pineapple, jack fruit, papaya, Malaysian apple & water melon). Rebecca loved the Malaysian apple.

We went to the Petronas towers for our 11.30 time slot and the first stage was up to the 42nd floor to the sky bridge. The view was very impressive. Next we went up to the 83rd floor to the observation deck which was rather high. The view made my legs go jelly. 

   

 

   

 

Afterwards we decided to head back to the hotel to enjoy the pool as the weather was so hot and muggy. Unfortunately William is still recovering from chicken pox and the chlorine in the water was not suitable for his skin. Rebecca enjoyed sploshing in the water with Tony. It was also a bit of shock wearing a normal swimming costume as she is so used to her neoprene suit which was very buoyant. She had to try harder to stay afloat.

  

We got kicked out of the pool due to thunder & lightning. Tony took some photos of the lightning from our hotel room. There was a burst of torrential rain and it cleared up fairly quickly. 

We headed out in the evening to go hunting for food and found Asia’s largest IT lifestyle center. Basically a big IT place for Tony to indulge! He also picked up a mobile phone portable charger for 60 ringits instead of 120 which is what the markets are trying to sell them for.

After hunting around for food, we opted for s fusion restaurant as they were offering a 20% discount voucher as we walked past earlier and had a variety of food choices. Though they were very reluctant to hand over the discount voucher to Tony when he asked for it when we did come back!

I miscalculated the price of the chilli crab and thought 100 ringits was £10 not almost £20!! Tony was not impressed. We had a lovely meal of traditional Malay dish and noodles.

On the walk back to our hotel, we got a glimpse of the Petronas towers at night.
