Day 76(March 21) Kulala Lumpur, Malaysia

Today Jennifer and I booked a car with driver and guide so we could visit Batu Cave, the Kulala Lumpur bird park and the textile museum.

Batu Cave was on my ‘must see’ list of temples to visit on this trip and it didn’t disappoint. After walking 272 steps, you enter a giant cave with a temple inside of it. It’s amazing.

Kulala Lumpur Bird Park, KL bird park as it’s known, was also fun- they have large nets that keep the birds inside and they are flying and walking all around you during your visit. We had lunch at the Hornbill cafe and, by golly, a hornbill sat on the tree just outside while we were eating. When the nearby mosque gave the call to prayer, the hornbill joined in. I thought I recorded it but I was too enthralled to hit the right buttons.

The textile museum was great too. It would have been even better if the air conditioning worked! It showed how the fabric was made years ago-it looked very complicated. The patterns were amazing and beautiful.

Batu Cave
steps up to the temple. There were two women that were going up the steps on their knees. It looked super painful. When you make a prayer/wish to the god, you say what you will do if your prayer/wish is granted and these women must have said they’d crawl on their knees to the temple
