The Batu Caves, which is just 13 km north of the city, is a popular Hindu shrine. It is also where the world's tallest statue of Murugan can be found right before you take the 272-step journey up to the caves. Along the way, families of monkeys will greet you and wait for food to grab. We saw two cave entrances but we did not join the others who ventured out what's beyond. As we descended in front of the statue, flocks of doves covered the pavement also waiting for food. Before we left, we quenched our thirst with refreshing buko juice right from the nut.
On our way back to the city, Bobby insisted that we visit Putrajaya before we proceed to the airport for our midnight flight. The city serves as the federal administrative center of Malaysia.We took the KLIA Transit and alighted at the station at around 3 p.m. It was raining then when we saw the bus for the city tour. Fortunately, the guide was waiting for some passengers who reserved for the tour and there were available seats for the four of us. Perfect timing. For almost three hours, we toured the famous landmarks of the city. I admired its carefully planned landscape. This is a very good example of urban planning and architecture. The designs of the bridges, mosques, and buildings are impressive. We dropped by the office and the official residence of the Prime Minister, passed by the government complex, and other public buildings and monuments. Really impressive! And do you know what makes the tour truly awesome? The price was RM 1 (PHP 13.00) per person. Priceless!
