Port Klang…. About an hour away from Kuala Lumpur. So the first day did the highlights of KL (as the locals say). The tour included the following highlights:
- Royal Selangor - pewter factory
- Petronas Twin Towers
- Tun Abdul Razak Memorial and National Mosque
- Independence Square and Old Railway Station
- Central Market
We had a monsoon in the middle of the tour… which made a few of the stops just ‘bus stops’.. but the last place was the Central Market. The market was a fun happening, I hung out with Barbara another solo traveler… I actually did some bartering and bought a really cute purse and some silk ‘wrap pants’… pictures below with a bit of commentary

I did buy a money tree and Zodiac Figurine for 1957

| Great tour - saw them pour the pewter into molds, polishing etc… and for some reason I didn’t take any photos |
 |
And no… i did not buy and Star Wars characters !!!

| Of course no pics… but Central Market was an Art Deco Building with all kinds of stalls and food and art |

| My fabulous purchase at Central Market - Malaysian Rattan purse! |
And the second day… I did absolutely nothing from a tour perspective. Calls for work early in the morning, walking on the fitness track, breakfast, a little more work, and the a nap!!! Loved watching the container ships load and off load, and watched a pair of tug boats move a container ship in between 2 docked ships
Just for information… here is my suite location and the track
