138 Days And Counting.....

Possible shore excursion options have appeared for Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.  The one we are considering is called Highlights of Kuala Lumpur.  The description of this tour appears below.

"Explore the diverse architecture, cultures and landmarks of Kuala Lumpur during this scenic, half-day tour of the city.

National Monument and Independence Square
Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 75-minute drive to the National Monument. Designed by acclaimed sculptor Felix De Weldon, this 50-foot-high (15-metre-high) bronze monument was constructed in 1966. After a photo stop here, re-board your coach and drive past the railway station en route to a photo stop at Independence Square. The former site of the Royal Selangor Club, Independence Square overlooks the main historical buildings of the city.

Jamek Mosque and KL Tower
Next, proceed to the Jamek Mosque. Built in 1909, it is the oldest mosque in Kuala Lumpur, and features graceful arches and domes that are reminiscent of Moorish architecture. After a photo stop here, your tour concludes with a visit to KL Tower. Upon arrival, proceed to the Observation Deck for breath-taking panoramic views of the city.


Following your visit, re-board the coach and commence the approximately one-hour drive back to the pier."
