Hello again KL!

Overall, today was another great day! It started off kind of slow. We woke up around 8am to head down to the dock to wait for the boat to take us into town.  We got to the dock/resturant with more than 30 minutes to spare so we had fruit and eggs for breakfast. We thought taking the boat would be more scenic than the bus since we did that on the way up. However, while the boat ride started off fun, it soon grew annoying and then painfully long. Having a bladder the size of a dime, I had to pee more than half of the two hour boat ride which was managable until the last 10 minutes when I thought I was just going to jump in the river and go. We FINALLY got to the release dock and I RAn up the stairs to the tanda (toilet) while Blake got the backpacks. After that, the day got better :) We took a short bus from the boat dock into town and got dropped off at the bus station that would take us into KL. We only had to wait about 30 minutes at the bus station before the bus left so we got KFC to go and waited to leave. The jourmey to KL was only about 3 hours long. We read and slept most of the time. It started pouring about 30 minutes before we got off the bus amd continued until we got on the metro to take us into Chinatown. Once we got off the metro, we were only about a block away from Chinatown. We soon found a place to stay, dropped off our backpacks, and went back to the bus station to purchase our tickets for Singapore (for tomorrow). The bus station near Chinatown is VERY nice and only about a month old. However, for being the biggest bus station in the nations capital, it didnt have a single bus going to Singapore so we just decided to wait till tomorrow to buy the tickets. We then went in search for food. We went back to the street of vendors and road side resturants we found the first time we were here and finally decided on a place to eat. It is amazing how many menus we looked at before we fianlly picking one. Every single resturant has a person dedicated to standing in the road to bring people in to get them to eat so we were pestered into looking at a LOT of different places. After everything started to blend together (and we realized the fish head curry was to expensive to waste our money on- maybe in Singapore), we decided on a place that had springrolls because that is what I was in the mood for. We shared chicken egg rolls, beef and chicken satay, and a large beer (the second of the whole trip). It was delicious! Then, finally, we went to Chinatown. Once again, we got great deals! I was on a shopping high and bought lots of goodies. Blake did pretty good himself :) After about 2 hours or so, when we were content with our purchases, we walked to McDonalds to get an ice cream cone. Across the street, we stumbled upon a Malay parade. All of the floats were beautifully decorated with flowers and lights, the music was very oriental and pretty, and occasionally some of the floats would splash water on you. We have no idea what it was in honor of but it was certainly fun to watch. Now we are back in the room watching desperate housewives and about to read the last book of the trilogy we have been reading. Tomorrow, we are heading to back to Singapore. Sad this trip is coming to an end but we cant wait to see everyone when we get home! :)
