KL Bird Park

 We had a decent night of sleep last night and this morning we spoke to all the kids via FaceTime.

We booked our second last night in Bangkok (just added a night to our previous booking). This hotel is right beside BKK airport in Bangkok.The only important planning left to do is the flight from Krabi to Bangkok and I wanted to wait til we get to Thailand as this airline is new to us and I want to get info from people who may have used it (especially in regards to baggage fees).

We also made arrangements for a 3 AM (!!) taxi pickup here at our hotel. We had to pre-pay with cash so I had to go to the mall and get some Canadian cash exchanged (at a VASTLY better rate than at the airport exchange rate LOL).

Back on the metro we went again with our stopping point one stop before Sentral. Once off the LRT we had a fabulous view of the worlds second tallest building (called Merdeka 118)

Our ultimate goal was to get to a huge park near the Center of the city. Here there is the largest “Free Flight Walk-in Aviary” in the world. We walked quite a ways to get to the aviary as it is located in the middle of the park and we should have used a short cut (my fault on that -of course the extra steps did add up nicely; 17,000 by 3 PM)

Wonderful birds there. Most were in cages but many were free roaming (and of course there was netting above so nothing could fly in or fly out).

There were also a troop of monkeys.

And finally a photo of an owl that,I think will be what we look like in he morning!

Caro had really wanted to see the orchid and hibiscus gardens in the park as well however they were closed so some disappointment there.

We walked out of the park and made our way over to Sentral station where we got on the LRT and were back to our hotel by about 3 PM. I ate something that my body is rejecting (!) so we are staying here in the afternoon (just in case)!

Tonight,  all being well, we will spend our last Malaysian Ringgit at the outdoor food market (easy to remember the name of “that” currency, don’t you think?).
