Malaysia Random Photos

This was the view our of our hotel window - this is the Pan Pacific Hotel located right next to the airport - might not sound ideal but it was a five minute drive to the race track which was handy - and the windows were really sound proof - never heard one plane. And all the riders were staying there which made for a great atmosphere.




And look at all that greenery - it was so nice to see green.


My first malay meal - I was not impressed by the fish on my plate - I had to cover him up as he was looking at me. I did not eat him either. The rest of the meal was nice - but it was not what I was expecting.


Nick in action with his new toy.


The swimming pool at our hotel - and it was freezing.


More greenery - makes a change from looking at sand


Inside one of the shopping malls - they are really big malls.


Another mall - this one is extremely expensive to shop in.


This is inside the toilet. There is a girl sitting in there and she turns the wheel and the water comes out for you to wash your hands. Its quite cool.


This is one of the restaurants in the mall - you would not want to walk past here if you had had a few too many drinks thats for sure - as the floor is pretty uneven.


We ate out at our favourite tapas restaurant and this was one of the dishes. And yes I did eat a few. But all I could think of was that I could feel their little legs wriggling around in my mouth.

Kuala Lumpur - Petronas Towers - Nightime

Nick experimenting with his camera at night.






You can actually get tickets to go up on this sky bridge - it is well worth it . We did it last time- amazing view.



Kuala Lumpur - Petronas Towers - Daytime

After staying three nights out by the race track we moved into Kuala Lumpur city . This is the second time we have been to KL and these towers are still just as amazing. Nick took some fabulous photos with his camera.


This was the view out of our hotel room - and blue sky - amazing you don't very often see this in KL.





Malaysia- Day Three Racing

Day three and I finally get to see a couple of spills - yay. But thankfully no-one got hurt.

Malaysia - Racing Day One

Day One in Malaysia - Sepang Racing Track - we are here to watch the MotoGp racing. It was actually quite good - but three days was a bit much for me. I enjoyed the first two days of practice but race day was a bit full on - did get to see a couple of spills which is my thing...not that I like to see anyone get hurt - but its exciting.

Celebrity Stalker

We are in Kuala Lumpur to watch the MotoGp Racing - well for these three days its all about Nick and then when we hit the city its all about ME!!!!

We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant amoungst alot of the motorbike riders - me of course had no idea who they were. So we sat in the lobby for a while in the hope of seeing Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi.



Casey Stoner appeared - he's just a boy. These riders all look so young - or maybe I am getting old!!!!
