We have now docked at Port Kelang, which is 38 km south-west of Kuala Lumpur. The ship cruised slowly up a wide river which appears to be lined with mangroves. Whatever the vegetation is, it is great to see what looks like pristine bushland. Our ship’s newsletter tells us that KL is “ . . . the only city in the world to have a million-year-old primary forest within the heart of the city.” I do wish I could have seen that.
It is lovely and sunny and not nearly as steamy as Singapore, so shortly I will have a go at walking around the decks to get my lungs working. I have now added a couple of photos to to the collection I am sending taken from the deck at the port.
