A modern city with very special twin towers.
We arrived in KL on 14.November following a 6hour windy bus from the Cameron Highlands that lead once through what felt like the entire Malaysian rainforest all the way down to the coast towards Kuala Lumpur.
We finally made it to the Cameron Highlands, famous for its many tea plantations! Of course, a visit to these picturesque plantations was one of our top ten things to do on our bucket list for Malaysia. It was a great experience!
We arrived in Georgetown on the island of Penang on 6.November following a 3hour ferry ride from Langkawi in the pouring rain. Georgetown is the second largest city in Malaysia after Kuala Lumpur and is not quite the picturesque colonial city one would expect. Upon arriving with the ferry we were greeted by a long row of skyscrapers and a very modern ferry terminal. The city was bustling with traffic and the sidewalks were full with people, locals and tourists alike.
After a very short, wild and bumpy speed boat ride from Koh Lipe to Langkawi, we safely arrived in Malaysia on 2.November. During our two-week journey through Malaysia we plan to visit beaches, temples and one of the oldest rainforests in the world! More reports will follow soon!
