What a wonderful day! We had a private tour where with a fabulous guide. He was very knowledgeable and spoke clear English. The first few place we went was to the Batu Caves. These caves are over 400 million years old and are currently being used as a Hindu temple. The upper caves are accessible by 272 steps some 330 feet above ground. Luckily, there were two caves at ground level also. We visited the newest Hindu temple there and and were able to go in and see the bright and colorful inside. Our guide said this temple is a depository for seeds in case the crops fail. Stopped at a batik shop and were able to meet the artist who draws the designs on silk. We were invited to put some ink on silk ourselves. It is harder to do than I thought it would be. Next, we drove back to the city and saw a variety of English, Chinese ,Indian, and Muslim areas. He said the various religions and cultures get along well and just go about their own business. He said after Singapore broke off to become a city state that things have been better for the country. We went to the kings palace and could not go in the grounds because a yellow flag was flying that meant the king was in residence. Next stop was a huge shopping center with instructions to eat in 25 minutes. Turned out, we had reservations to go to the top of the Petronas Twin Towers attached to the shopping center. Only 22 people are allowed at a time, so if you miss, tough for you! We did get there in time. First we were let off at the walkway between the buildings. Then, we were sent up two more elevators to the top. We were allowed 20 min up there. The view was great, and I had only a few deep breath moments!Towers are over 900 feet tall and once were the tallest in the world. After all this, we were happy to get back to the ship!
