On 23rd of May we ate breakfast (read rice and noodles) and headed towards the jetty to do this 40 minute river Cruise. But when the woman at the counter was so unhelpful (which was quite normal in Malaysia) and the price was 23 ringgits each we decided to save money and not do it. Instead we head to the mall (again..) to buy headphones for Steve.
Since it was cloudy day we headed to the floating mosque and didnt bother to wait until the sunset as was recommeded. We walked for AGES! We had been told that it's only a 2 km walk away. After walking around 30 minutes we saw a sign saying 1,3 km to go! What made the journey feel even longer was that we walked through this ghost town! Seriously scary shit. It was like a new area with brand new buildings but no one there. There were no windows in some of the buildings and houses, no electricity yet in any of them, no cars, no cats or stray dogs, NOTHING!
Finally at the mosque, well, a mosque by the water. We didnt even bother to try in with shorts on. We chilled there for a while by the water and ate ice creams. Just the idea of having to walk the journey back was exhausting. When we eventually started walking back, by a chance there happened to be a taxi driving past us! Wuhuu!
At night we went back to the night market to wonder around. Nothing special to the previous night. Again an early night in with finally some planning!
The next morning we were yet again dead tired?! So weird! We set of to walk to the bus #17 around 10.30 ish. Coming with that bus it took us like 15 minutes but going it was closer to 45 minutes! We barely made it to the 12 o'clock bus to KL (13,80 ringgits each). It took us two hours when the bus dropped us of at TBS bus terminal from which we took a train to KL sentral.
The previous night we had booked a hostel Irsia B&B so we took a monorail to Imbi. "Only 1 minute walk from the monorail" it said on their page. It ended up being another 45 minute struggle trying to find it. Totally lost believe that we would ever find it. Eventually we found it and it actually wasnt more than a 1 minute walk....... The hostel was probably one of my favorite ones, the only minus was the tiny thin walls which felt like they were gonna collapse any time.
After eating next door at this chinese place then we went to wonder to the massive shopping mall (Berjaya) and found the roller coaster inside it! At night we walked back to Bukit Bintang to Jalan Alor street and found mango and sticky rise!
A walk back to the hostel and near by bars to figure out where to watch the last premier league game of the season. A game and two beers later we finally got some sleep! Or at least until 5 am when this girl next door decided to have a Skype call?! Untill Steve knocked on the door and told her to shut up.
