The 26th of November was my last day, and again my trusty umbrella has scared away the rain, so I thought it was time to do an open top bus tour of Kuala Lumpur. The only problem with this is that unfortunately Kuala Lumpur is a very large city with a lot of traffic, and a lot of the city is just not that photogenic.
Little India
We were driven at quite a fast pace and seemed to lurch from one side to another. Added to that the pre-recorded audio guide had the knack of announcing the places of interest just as we had passed them. This is the Parliament building.
The nearly new Merdeka 118 Tower. We got to see a lot of this. It’s the second highest building in the world.
National Mosque
The Kuala Lumpur Tower, the 7th tallest telecommunications tower in the world.
The Petronas Towers.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
The Petronas Towers up close.
After the tour it was back to the hotel via a souvenir stall, to have a shower and to pack. Then to the airport. I was early to check in, struggled to find the actual lounge and then boarded my plane.
The business class cabin is the old dated British Airways herringbone seat layout which isn’t the greatest but the service on the other hand was top-notch, and couldn’t be faulted. 
Yours truly in my little cabin. It a little odd sitting backwards, but as I was asleep for most of the flight it doesn’t really matter.
A welcome orange juice (as the Malaysians don’t allow champagne at take off)
A delightful Gin-zing (gin, citrus and sparkling water) once we reached cruising height.
My starter of salmon with a glass of sparkling English wine. Very nice
The main course of Lamb which was also very nice. I had a top up of a rather delightful Cabernet Sauvignon.
And finally a pudding of Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Custard.
After a rather long sleep, it was time for breakfast. Firstly a fruit platter with yogurt, then as I didn’t fancy the cooked breakfast some more croissants and a coffee. We landed a bit early and I grabbed my bags by 515am. Decided to get a different coach back to Brighton at 610, so I changed out of my shorts and put on my thick socks and trousers. I’m glad I packed a hooded zip up top and a woolen beanie as it was very cold after 30 degree temperatures in South East Asia. And after 2 hours on a rather comfortable National Express Coach arrived in a drizzly Brighton. And by 830am tucked up in my own bed !
