Overseas tour Day 167 – Majestic Mk II

Another day, another early run for Andy, this time around the botanical gardens. He’s made a new friend with the porter at the Majestic, who by a twist of fate also originates from Nepal.

As Michelle is still feeling unwell, she stayed in bed this morning and Andy took residence at the hotel pool on the 4th floor.

Michelle started to feel a little better after a few extra hours sleep so we decided to go and have afternoon tea in the hotel drawing room.

The hotel is famed for its colonial charm and sitting in the drawing room with a piano playing and people eating cucumber sandwiches and drinking tea, it felt like we were in an old hotel in the West End of London.

After enjoying the backdrop of a piano playing and old school waiter service, we moved on to the smoking room, where for a charge you can pick a jacket and enjoy a cigar or cigarette with a glass or two of whiskey on ice, or whatever takes your fancy.

With early evening approaching, we headed out to a restaurant nearby the hotel for some traditional Malaysian and a dish called Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang.

With the cab delayed by Sunday night traffic, we decided to walk, which due to the humidity levels meant we needed a drink or two by the time we made it to the restaurant.

Chicken & rice and some spice!

We found a quicker way back and thankfully escaped the impending thunder storm that descended within a few minutes of being back in the hotel.

Tomorrow’s our last day in KL, so we intend to do some last minute shopping in Chinatown and see if we can pick up a bargain or two from the designer market stalls…!!
