Day 20:
Otherwise known as the day of... sweat, butterflies, sunshine, fishes and a drunken cry
This was our second to last day and after a little lie-in we ventured to our usual bakery for a morning breakfast of banana cake and other delicious treats all for about 20p. We then decided to walk to this park in the centre of the city as it was such a sunny day. There we stumbled across the butterfly park and realised after a while that because this park had a combination of sunshine, a wet mist (humid, humid, humid fun) and a netted greenhouse style roof it made for a sweaty betty day. We saw some bad ass butterfly tempt a turtle and then fly away and some HUGE fish, but the best bit was obviously the huge amount of butterflies that enjoyed sitting on my finger.
Afterwards we must have looked very very sexy. Luckily, a ribena flavoured ice-lolly was all I needed but we then started to walk to look for more food. We were heading towards the park when we found this amazing local market place that smelt incredible and lured us in! Having such a wide range of foods placed in front of us we asked an elderly man what to have, in the rough English way of just desperately signing at the man about how hungry we were. He offered us some testers and we ate FANTASTICALLY. We ended up having some sort of spacey rice with vegetables that his lovely wife was freshly cooking in a MASSIVE pot. The whole meal also cost us about £2 and we were treated like celebrities when all the locals approached us to see how we liked their cooking, not an English person in sight. We then walked around the park and saw deer and rowdy chickens.
The evening started as the day before, with rain. However, in KL this just makes the evening cooler and makes getting food hilarious. We tried playing cards and waiting for it to clear up a bit but after a while we made a dash for it... straight across the road to the reggae bar. This bar offers drinks for girl backpackers for less than a pound, I made it my challenge to drink as many as I could. Unfortunately that led to me having a proper drunken cry about being upset to leave and meeting some more people in our hostel over beer! I ended up eating chocolate wafer biscuits and wanting to stay travelling forever, however maybe in a place without so many moquitos?? Seriously, I still got more bites even on this day... in the middle of a city. I think at this point I was just cocky and some mosquito went to town on my un-mosquito-repellently skin
