Petronas Twin Towers

For several days now we had spotted the Petronas Twin Towers from all over KL (you can hardly not spot them as they tower over the city, visible from virtually everywhere) so it was time to visit.

Sitting atop the Suria KLCC shopping centre and alongside a large park with swimming areas, the towers sure do impress close up. As I was about to take a photo, some guy offered to sell me a Rolex watch and looked quite suprised when I showed no interest whatsoever.

We hoped to get some free tickets to visit the skybridge joining the towers but couldn't be bothered getting there early so we turned up at 2pm and found there were no more tickets. No one in our group shed any tears over that as the towers look better from a distance and the views are better from the Menara Tower. So we explored Suria KLCC a little.

This is yet another massive shopping centre in a city full of shopping centers and this one was expensive, its only interesting feature an enormous christmas tree in the centre court. What we did enjoy was a place called California Pizza, where 3 of us devoured two excellent pizzas and exploited the unlimited free drink refills to the max.

Then we wandered off past the lake outside to the swimming pool and playground, which was packed with people enjoying the water and splashing about. Out walk ended at a modern looking silver mosque which was a nice backdrop for the sunset marking the end of another pleasant day in KL.
