Lost in jungle

Today we have felt again (after Indian experience) Hindu religion in its best:
the most kitsch amusement fun park: the imposing limestone Batu Caves are swallowed since 1890 until today by hindu temples and shrines. Here worshipping imagery through money is above good daily deeds.

FRIM (Forest Research Institute of Malaysia) was the second adventure of the day: running away from late morning crowds and filled with refreshing coconut juice we jumped into what we can call a tiny taste of Malaysian Jungle. As usual our adventurous appetite made us trek through the most muddy path and after several kms between the giant jungle trees we unexpectedly reached dead end ! Same way back, found the botanic gardens, we had our beloved rest in a garden's hut, with the pleasant sound of rain and kingfisher in the background.





Dead man and his clean feet !
In the end of the day Malay Stalls in Kampung Baru gave us great food and magnificent view of the Petronas Towers !
