Today Eamon, Norman and Lyn decided to visit the Batu Caves. These caves are 13 km north of the city and is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India. We took the monorail from outside Times Square (our hotel is at the back of Times Square) to the KL Sentral station then crossed the road to the main KL Sentral station and took the train (on the KTM Komuter line) to Batu Caves. On the way we befriended Desiree Bartsch a Canadian (who is now living in Bali for the next year) as she was also finding her way to the caves and an extra pair of eyes looking for directions helped. 
The cave is reached by climbing the 272 steps to the entrance. There are several cave temples and Hindu shrines withing the main cave. Below the main cave (Temple Cave) is the Dark Cave which contains unique animal species, but we decided not explore this cave. 
On the way back we overshot the KL Sentral station and so had to get off at Angkasspuri and return to KL Sentral before returning to the hotel.
Later I ate in the main food street in the nearby Bukit Bintang district at one of the many food stalls.
