Saturday 21 May
We have lost a day and arrived in K L at 5.5pm - while we are still in morning mode. Bit of mirth with the locals when they were greeted with 'good morning' at 6pm. The Pan Pacific is a very nice hotel right next to the airport. We arrived in a buggy from the airport like Lord and Lady muck. Short call from Wayne but comms not clear. Early night as we have an early start for Brisbane, where we arrive on Sunday night and get back to the real world.

Landed at KL 5 am found our way out to shuttle bus to Concorde Inn which is not far from the airport, but 80 kms from town.Rested up in the room provided to us for the day - people very helpful and tried to go on-line, but using hotel internet not a good idea, as they wanted us to remove the firewall..... no ways. We had to use a high speed train to immigration/customs. remarkable concept. KL buzzing with people as it was the Malyasian Grand Prix - full compliment of Aussies at hotel

9th April

Arrived in Kuala Lumpur after dramas at Brisbane airport. Arrived at International airport via a shuttle bus from Sunshine Coast - saw a number of prangs on the way and plenty of rain. Had our suitcases cling wrapped and the drama started there. We were told we were only allowed 7.5 kgs in cabin baggage. Shifted stuff around as the big suitcases were under weight, and also took out the one backpack which was filled and used as my handbag! Through check-in and then security who once more asked for stuff to be shifted around, but noted that computer inclusion in baggage was fine, even though the weight had been re-arranged across various suitcases! As Rich said what a load of shit!!!
