TUNEFUL KUALA LUMPUR

-
Mr Fixit approaches another deal

Landed at KL after a fairly easy flight. As usual when coming from one climate zone to another, leaving the petrified atmosphere of the aircraft and stepping out into the sauna that is the tropics was like being hit with a wet, warm blanket. Malta's answer to Judith Chalmers Ally Hearn and his poor partner Annabel were waiting for us as we emerged, eventually, from baggage claim. From there we were taken to Ally's choice of hotel in KL. Right by the airport, The Tune hotel is a haven for cheapskate travelers. Ally is one such. As we entered our room (sideways) we could see why it was only £10 a night. Papillon had more room in his prison cell and that's the solitary confinement part of the story! Even the addition of a full length wall mirror could not add an illusion of space. The fan in the middle of the ceiling had barely room to rotate. But what the hell, after a few bottles of Tiger beer we were ready for a bed of any kind!


No room at the room

  1. Glad you've arrived safely - as long as you have enough room to lie down i guess that would do for a night. Looking forward to next instalment. love to Ally and Annabel too.
