With today being our last morning in KL, we headed out post breakfast for a return visit to the Central Market and walk around Chinatown.

Before leaving the hotel, Andy insisted on getting his photo with another of the porters who was sporting an old British colonial uniform.

Despite being only 10am, it was already 36 degrees and getting hotter, so we headed inside for some respite.

The Central Market was formally a wet market that was converted to sell local arts and crafts in the 1980’s. You can stroll around the many sections within the Central Market, from the Lorong Melayu, Straits Chinese, and Lorong India, located on the west wing. The second floor hosts a food court, offering an array of food

Located alongside the main building is the newly transformed, pedestrianised and covered walkway, Kasturi Walk featuring stalls selling local snacks and souvenirs.

We then headed to the textile museum adjacent to the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.

The building was designed in a Moorish architectural style and houses 4 galleries detailing the history of Malaysian, Indian and China textiles and the costumes that are still worn.

After the museum we headed back to the River of Life walkway and the beautiful back drop of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building and Merdeka Square.

Inevitably there had to be an Insta backdrop with the I ❤️ KL!

As we walked around we saw brief glimpses of the rich greenery and the jungles that exist outside of the city limits.

As we meandered our way back to the hotel, we walked past the National Mosque of Malaysia.

Unfortunately we weren’t able to go inside, as non-worshipers weren’t allowed inside at the time.

Alongside the mosque were decorative architectural pieces:

Alongside this was the Islamic Arts Museum.

Our lasting memory of KL will be about looking up and taking in the ever changing skyline.

Next door to the hotel, are the two railway buildings erected in 1910 which house a station and the main HQ for the national railways. Each is notable for their architecture, which adopt a mixture of Eastern and Western designs.

Back at the hotel, there was just time to grab one more photo with the older and diminutive porter who helped us each day with the ordering of cabs.

With the heat of the day at its greatest, we headed for the hotel pool for a couple of hours of R&R before heading out for a final evenings meal and shop.

Back in Chinatown, Michelle was on the hunt for a memento and decided to treat herself to a LVMH bag, from one of the stalls that sells good replicas.

After an enjoyable meal, we strolled back to the Majestic and enjoyed a final evening listening to some jazz in the hotel drawing room.

Tomorrow the next adventure awaits, as we fly off to Borneo for a 10 day tour into the jungle.
