This morning we woke up to beautiful sunny blue skies something we hadn't seen in KL in the morning due to the very misty/smokey mornings. Even though the mornings were always misty/cloudy the sun did come through all that as the day went on but never clear blue skies.
We left our Apartment at 2.00pm after a morning back doing the shops, although they don't open until 10.00 a.m. but don't close until 10.00pm. I think most people come out at night as it is always a lot busier so we feel best time is just after 10.00am much quieter. We brought an I-pad so sorry Adam A we might need some help on that one........Saved about NZ$100.00 so felt it was worth it while we were here. From April next year there will be taxes on all IT products. We got picked up by a taxi to be taken to Sentral KL to catch the Express train to the airport. As we were on our way we asked the driver how much straight to the airport. , it was only about another NZ$8.00 so we felt it was easier just to be taken save battling with the train station with luggage and as we were going to the Sama Sama Hotel next to the airport, we would have had to walk from the station to the hotel. I think that going by Taxi only added on another fifteen minutes.
Arrived at the Hotel about 3.00pm, got upgraded to the Premier Club room. Not sure why but I did ask for the highest room facing the planes as my husband enjoys watching them. He spent some time going through his computer and came up with floor 9 (top Floor and Premier Club only.) He didn't tell us at the time but when we went up the lift the doors opened and there we were with special lounge facilities, then realised what he had done for us.
Got a letter given to us giving all the extra benefits we were entitled to. It was just like in Hong Kong when we got upgraded to Club rooms there. If you can manage it, it is so worth while, even if you have to pay a little extra for club
Its own lounge with complimentary coffee juices and soft drinks 6.00 am to 11.00 am
" evening cocktails from 6.00 pm till 8.00 pm
" Wi-fi
And many more facilities available like late checkout, express check out etc.
The 6.00pm to 8pm is great as we went along and relaxed with a couple of drinks and food which I thought would just be nibbles, but more like a full meal, great hot dishes, deserts cheeses and crackers so after all that we didn't need to go and spend money on a meal. Great.
We have a 5.30 wake call for our 8.40am flight. Breakfast opens at 6.00am, That's also on Club floor, just for floor nine, so don't have to go down to the main dining room. Just a few steps from our room. So we will eat, then back to our room for half an hour then go downstairs and their buggy takes us over to the terminal 1 to check in. It all sounds so easy.
Going back to when we arrived, we went straight down to the pool for a swim and a relax, which we never seem to have had time to do. Very Pleasant. Knew we had to do this before the afternoon thunder and lightening arrived and right to schedule it it came, spectacular. Both sheet and forked lightening and within an hour it had all passed through.
When we woke up this morning at the Apartment, couldn't believe it, bright blue sky.
View from our windows above and below. which I have posted when it was all misty.
Another shot of the pool in the bright sun. Our tower is the one on the left, but we were further to the left.
This is a poster that we saw in a shop this morning and PT wanted a photo.
This shop is full of crystal glass and really sparkled under the vivid lights. Look fantastic all sparkling but didn't come out that way in a photo.
Now arrived at Sama Sama Hotel at the airport. Very nice room. Everything is touch button to turn on lights, A/C and even to put the blinds up and down on the windows. Big window ,overlooking the airport building.
View from our window.
Looking straight across to terminal 1 International.
Same photo taken at at night.
These three photos are where we relaxed this afternoon. Very nice complex.
Sitting there looking at another tower, this time the international airport tower. Hope the airport observers didnt have binoculars.
Taken in the club lounge when we were having drinks and food. First tower for international and the little pin right in the background behind that is the tower for domestic. Domestic a little distance away.
Well this is the end of our, just under six weeks holiday and we have enjoyed many different cultures. Its been a very busy trip, always rushing around, plenty of walking, and our biggest battle coping with the severe heat for such a long time. It will be good to get home tomorrow just to cool down and of cause to catch up with everyone. DON'T RING US TOO EARLY ON SATURDAY MORNING. won't be home until about 1.00am on Saturday. See you soon.
