Also known as Genting
We had one last day in Kuala Lumpur so we decided to check out Genting Highlands, home of the only legal land-based casino in Malaysia! This adventure was more for Mike than for me but I was happy enough to tag along. Besides, you get to ride a gondola…which sounded like fun (despite my fear of heights).
Well… the approximately one hour trip outside the city actually took more like three? And we just happened to arrive on the first day of the two week maintenance closure for the gondola. That meant a very long line for the shuttle bus.
The casino and theme parks were a bit run down but still amusing. Everyone likes giant reproductions of random famous things, right?
Mike played the slot machines but wasn’t quite as successful as his jaunt in Vienna. By the time he was finished, I was ready to go.
The plus side to this disappointing trip is that the air in the Highlands is much cooler than in the city down below. I was actually chilly at times.
Early the next morning we headed back to Abu Dhabi, via Sri Lanka. I think we were ready.
xo, jill
