21 December 08 (Day 2): Kuala Lumpur (30km)

After breakfast, we headed for the Lake Gardens. The Deer Park was still under construction. When I last visited the place seven years ago, it was also closed for construction. I wonder if any progress had been made at all.


We then tried to locate the Bukit Kiara Mountain Biking Trail. Sadly and probably to the relief of Bro, we could not find the entrance, hence we headed back to the city centre. We were still considering whether to cycle out of K.L. since the only way out was through the tax toll stations along the highways. Our queries were answered when we paid the Tourism Centre a visit and the staff told me to use the K.L. – Seremban highway out. With that, we kind of decided to head for Malacca the following day.


We visited the Petronas Twin Towers, took some photos, before heading for the K.L. Tower. It was quite a climb up but the descent was quite enjoyable. Thanks to a hesitant taxi driver though, I nearly got into an accident with a car.


It was already close to 1pm. We cycled back to Kotaraya, deposited our bikes in our room, before going for lunch. After that, we shopped around the Bukit Bintang area and literally walked around the whole of Jalan Pudu before deciding on a place to eat at Kotaraya! That was kind of silly.

I spotted quite a few Singaporeans, especially a rather large group of university students at Chinatown. There was a slight drizzle and we retired for another night at Hotel Excel Inn. I made use of the time to plan the route out of the city.

Total distance: 30km
Money spent: RM300~ (total 4D3N)
Participants: LSH, Bro
