Another active morning as the Princess Sapphire came into Port Kelang. The various teams of men were waiting on the dock to bring the Princess in. That is something to watch!
Today was going to be a ship day for myself. A day of pampering, a facial and massage.
I chose not to go into Kuala Lumpur, as it was going to be a short day at port. The city is about 30 miles form the cruise terminal. Also, a friend of mine, who travels to Kuala Lumpur for work had told me the city is very modern and had a New York feel.
But if you are ever in the area, some points of interest are:
Petronas Twin Towers = Reaching over 1,400 feet into the air. This is the world's tallest twin towers. A sky bridge connects the two towers at the 41st and 42nd floors. I am sure this would be spectacular to see, but heights aren't for me.
Kuala Lumpur Tower = A telecommunications and broadcasting tower that features shops, an open-air amphitheater, an observation deck and a revolving restaurant to see the spectacular view of Kuala Lumpur.
Batu Caves = One of the most popular Hindu shrines outside of India. There are 272 steps that lead to the temple cave. The people on board the boat said it reminded them of the Mayan Temple ruins in Mexico.
Some of the other passengers from the ship chose to go to various restaurants to try out the local cuisine. The different dishes are the Apam balik which is a Malaysian peanut pancake stuffed with roasted peanuts and sugar crumbs. Some street snacks are deep fried sweet potato balls, Malaysian beef/pork jerky and vegetable spring rolls called popiah. The food was pretty tasty.
The enjoyment of being on a cruise is finding what works for you!
