Parking Mojombo in Kelang we took a train ride into Malaysia's national capital, ‘KL’ as most folks call it.
 |
| Many of the city’s government office buildings are colonial treasures – this one, built by the British in 1897 currently houses the federal and high courts. |
 |
| Oil and gas rich Malaysia celebrates this new found wealth with the Petronas Towers (Petronas is the national petroleum company). For a while it was the world’s tallest building. |
The infuence of the Indian sub-continent is very strong in Kuala Lumpur and the highlight of our visit was the Batu Cave – a Hindu shrine and pilgrimage site.
 |
| Approaching the Batu Cave |
 |
| Access to the main cave is reached via 272 steps, guarded by a 43m high Murga statue. |
 |
| The ascent begins... |
 |
| ...stopping for a rest... |
 |
| ... finally entering the main cavern, filled with little shrines... |
 |
| .... like this one. |

| The temple at the very top. |
