More monkeys

Friday, July 28, 2017
A train ride into KL Sentral started our morning where we found the bus we will take to the airport tomorrow.  Then off to the Batu Caves, a Hindu religious site.  Cindy and I had been there 20 years ago, and it still looks the same, but the parking lot is paved now.  No one was overly keen on climbing several hundred stairs to see another deity in a cave, so it was a short trip.  We have told the boys that anytime you have a combination of monkeys and dogs, the dogs always look horrible, seemly suffering from mange.  This continues to be true, as many of the dogs looked like they needed to be put down.  The monkeys are very brave for food, and one lady who gave her stroller strapped infant a cookie had a monkey jump on the infant and wrestle the food away.  Then the monkey went after the lady, who quickly gave up on her food by throwing it far away from her.  Luke did not have any encounters with monkey on this occasion, but he did keep his distance.
Back at the pool, Cindy's fear of heights continues to amuse us.  As I demonstrated my Phelp's like prowess in the water, Cindy was worried that I might lift out of the water and go over the side.  I am lean, mean, and fast in the water.  Nate was going to the salmon going upstream, but decided to give Cindy a break.  Then, someone (sorry, but it was an Asian family) showed up with a five foot high pink flamingo floating device.  The guard stopped that one from going in the water.  I thought it was to keep the floatie being blown over the side, but Cindy felt it was to prevent people from floating over the side.  I imagine we will not see another infinity pool on the 52nd floor again.
We then had a quiet evening, packing up and preparing for our flight to Japan tomorrow.
