The eye of the 'butter'fly

Up early and off to the Museum of Islamic Arts - very interesting and in a beautiful building. Then I walked to the Kl World of Birds but decided not to go in - the trouble with a world traveller, which is after all what I am, is that you keep seeing the same things. I saw a similar aviary on the garden Route in SA last year and once you've seen one flamingo .... I did go to the (free) orchid garden, but it's not a patch on the one in Singapore.

After Butterfly World it was a hot walk via the old Moghul style railway terminus to the old Central Market - and a beer!

Then a taxi home - I think I've cracked this taxi lark. Today it cost me more or less the same to come back a it cost to go and much less than yesterday. It's still cheap - 12RM today - that's about £2.50 for a 30/40minute journey.

A huge tropical storm with thunder and lightning has been going on since I got back. the first since I've been here. I did go for a swim in the rain but then it got windy.

Now waiting the arrival of G's dad who'll be staying here for the next 4 nights. Interesting times but should be ok - will have to be ok, it's G and W H's party,not ours. First time that we've stayed together as a family like this for over 2 years.

Live in the present, let go of the past and wait for the future to greet you. Today's mantra. Enjoy the rest of it.
