Hanging Birds Nest Plants from Street Lights
One of the random roads we walked down to get to this place where I am typing from now. I still have no idea where I am.

One for the Gunzels
I can’t help myself.
Petronas Towers
I had to lie down for this photo! Our hotel is next to the Petronas Towers.
Sultan Abdul Samad Building
This is the Supreme Court Building. The photo was taken from the Royal Selangor Club grounds.
These buildings, the National History Museum and the KL Public library were on our walk of the Town Centre.

Report from KL
It is a muggy 32c here today. I am located in an internet business centre on the 1st floor of a budget hotel in area that I don’t actually know where it is on the map. But hey that’s the fun of a holiday.
For those of you who asked Helen not to take photographs of libraries, I am sorry to disappoint you but we have some already. I am sure Helen will fill you in on the details.
KL has been the heights of luxury for us. Greeted by 50 people eager to help at KLIA made finding the one ready to whisk us away in the Merceded Benz limo hard to find. Cool (read frozen) towels were appreciated given our sudden change from chilly Adelaide to the claustrophobic humidity.
Our hotel is in KLCC a modern set of shops, hotel, office and accomodation surrounding a large park area. KLCC is connected to the rest of KL by a modern driverless light rail system. But you could stay in KLCC without the need to visit the rest.
But we didn’t we visited KL town centre, the central market, china town (no I don’t need a new watch or the latest VCD!) admired the range of food and the intoxicating (usually nice) smells.
We ate in a curry house and were offered and accepted a range of interesting foods including the largest prawn I have seen. Our digestive systems are not yet suffering in adverse consequences. This great and cheap experience was followed up by a top notch dinner in our hotel. I could eat like this every day.
I am going to try to upload some photos now.

Highway 1 – California
This photo shows how Highway 1 hugs much of the Californian coast.
The wonderful thing about the coast road is that throughout the day the environment is changing. In the morning there was lots of fog, as the day warmed up it burnt off. There was also plenty of sea mist.
These conditions provided for some pretty amazing perspectives.
Dog at Peterborough Lift Lock
Peterborough lift lock is the tallest in the world, or so I remember. The fall colours were beautiful. This dog was below the lift lock and belonged to workers at the lock.
Ontatio had the most spectacular colours during our Fall trip.
NYC 2004 – City Hall Station #2
You may have read previously that I was quoted in the Columbia Uni Rag that I was surprised that the cell phone worked, or something similar. The reality of course is that this trainee journalist was demonstrating has ability to get the facts wrong attributed.
1) No Australian carries a cell phone – we have Mobile Phones
2) I certainly didn’t take mine on holiday.
I do appreciate that there is documentary evidence, from an independent source that I was indeed in City Hall station on the occassion of the Subway’s 100th Birthday.
Just look at my tie pin closely!!!
