People generally are strange aren't they? Like the couple who decide to take two adjacent travelators and converse across them as they travel in tandem. Or the guy who sat next to us on the plane who insisted on using a Vicks nasal inhaler. Who wants to be travelling next to a stranger with a streaming cold?
Toady we were up at 6.00 for a three temple tour. the Golden Buddha first, majestic at 9 metres tall and made of solid gold hidden in concrete for several centuries.
Then on the longest reclining  Buddha in the world and last to the White Marble temple where the King had imported marble from Italy. Cost no problem!
We moved swiftly to the temple of mammon called MBK, rather like a giant indoor market. A pleasant hour was whiled away looking at various items but the only thing we bought was some more rechargeable batteries, our appear to be expiring in the heat.
After we returned to the hotel we walked to a pleasant Internet bar where we booked hotels in Penang and KualaLumpur
Dinner was in a sea  food restaurant near the hotel recommended by our taxi driver and very good it was.
And now for an early night as our tour tomorrow leaves here at 6.30.
