No hang over thankfully for me Katie not so good. After a lovely breakfast of fruit and omelette
We headed off to batu caves where there are 272 steps to a cave. Along way when your feet and legs are still recovered from partying until 3.30am !!
There were monkies everywhere trying to steal anything that looked interesting – they were still very cute
The cave was only discovered 200 years ago by the Chinese and they collected bat guana (faeses) for fertiliser. It had been open to the public, lighting installed etc but this upset the Eco system so it was closed til 2011 and reopened with small visit groups and no lighting. The cave system is believed to be over 80 million years old.
There are in excess of 200,000 bats living in the caves the fruit bat and image insect eating bat. The noise was very loud from the fruit bats in caves where some light reached the caves they fly upto 50km from the cave due to kl becoming more polluted but in the pitch black is where the insect eating bats live they only go about 2 km from the cave. We saw 2 long legged centipedes which were very strange creates – we went on a tour which was about 800m long the cave system goes on for a further 1.2km but is used for research purposes.
At the end of the tour we came to a beautiful chamber which is the size of 2 football pitches.
We then headed to a beautiful waterfall area next to batu caves with peacocks, lots of fish, snakes and iguanas (my favourite). I got to hold a large iguana and some parrots
The iguanas were so beautiful
We then headed to the train station to get a train back to KL central and onto KLCC mall near our hotel, it only cost 2.60 ringets (about 66p for a 45 minute ride) which was amazing in caparison to uk prices. On the way we stopped at a lady doing beautiful henna art I had one on my right hand and Katie on her right leg
