Arriving back in KL we checked back in to the Haven Guesthouse. Our plan was to stay for another day while Debs got her foot checked out at the hospital and then head to Indonesia. The best laid plans unfortunately always seem to go wrong! Debs foot had swollen quite badly while we had been away, so the doctor decided to try and drain some fluid and then pump the wound full of alcohol to stop any infection. This was agony and she could barely walk afterwards! Naughty Dr. Nandy!! Her foot had not healed as he would have liked, so we were asked to come back the next day.
Unfortunately on our return the next day and with Debs still in pain, we were asked to come back after the weekend, which as it was a public holiday in Malaysia meant Tuesday. Our one day back in KL quickly turned into six days, so we had to try and find things to keep us occupied.
With no real plan for our time in Indonesia, our extended stay became the ideal opportunity to plan the next leg. With slightly less time than we had planned, we decided to miss out Sumatra and head straight for Bali. Over the internet we booked our flights and a nice hotel in Kuta beach. From Bali we would travel to Lombok on the ferry and then take the Peramatour boat to Flores. As our time was limited we decided it would be best to book the return journey on the boat and so in total we would spend five days touring the islands. From Lombok we hope to get to Java and then eventually fly to Singapore on around the 26/06, giving us 4 days before we left for New Zealand.
With the next leg planned we spent the rest of the time going to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3, shopping (again), sending parcels home and viewing the city from the KL tower (the fourth tallest in the world). We would have liked to go to the Petrosains museum, but due to the start of the Malaysian school holidays it was booked solid, so maybe next time. Our opinion of KL hasn’t changed; it is still a really nice city and ‘the Haven’ is still a great guesthouse. Maybe next time we will see it under different circumstances!
Next: We finally make it to Indonesia
