We arrived in the Malaysian Capital on Tuesday afternoon and were greeted by the kind of torrential rain that can only be compared to taking a shower – heavy enough to soak us both in the 5 metre walk from the taxi to the hotel. Needless to say this did have us Googling to ensure that we had indeed chosen to visit during the dry season! Our first evening was uneventful, comprised solely of a short walk to a nearby restaurant and an early night.
