Genting Highlands

Andy playing Tekken while we waited for the bus

On Tuesday we visited a place called Genting Highlands, which is way up in the mountains near Kuala Lumpur, at an altitude of about 1700m. It is basically a huge holiday resort with 5 hotels, a shopping mall, theme park and food court.

Through the bus window

Crazy colourful place

The first thing we did was take the mini monorail so that we could get a good look around the place.

We took a ride or 5 on the bumper cars..

Found M&M world..

Ate some pizza..

Walked about..

Before heading back to the bumper cars and becoming very competitive (in a friendly way of course) with some of the kids there. We must've played about 20 games before leaving!

Tucky picked us up after we got the bus back to town and we spent the rest of the evening with him before crashing in the hotel.

 

Thanks for reading, come back soon!

Going up to the fort

St Paul statue

Imagine the pylon isn't there, and this is actually a decent photograph

View from the fort - they probably should've built it higher ^_^

There we are again

The rooeens

One of the commemorative stone tablets

Thought provoking

Asian peace sign pose

Sounds like this guy made his own rules, but didn't play by them.

Very green place compared to KL

Obligatory selfie

Go away pilon. Completely forgotten the purpose of that mansion too.

Panoramic shot on the ground

The Hindu temple

Andy paid £10 for this blessing - worth it!

Inside the temple - the white stuff is from our blessing.

Blessed

Don't mess with us, we're the blessed.. Brigade?

That statue is gigantic

So many steps..

About halfway up

Monkeying about

Triumphant at the summit!

Long legs win out

Reward for making it to the top

Prayin' with Pearl

At the entrance to the dark cave tour

Oh man, those socks

Special species of spider which lives in the delicate cave ecosystem

All the other cave photos were terrible quality, so I won't bore you with them.
