    1. Hi Peter -

      KL has plenty to keep you occupied for 2 days.

      * Have lunch or high tea at the restaurant at the top of the Menara Tower - http://www.atmosphere360.com.my/. The view is phenomenal and you can see the Petronas Twin Towers.

      * In the evening, go to the Petaling Street Market to shop and try the street food.

      * Visit the Batu Caves which are on the outskirts of the city - the caves have been turned into Hindu temples and are very impressive.
