A Wash Out

I'm taking a short break from talking about our cats and kittens.

Today we took the boys to the KL Bird Park. It was Abang's idea and since Daddy had never been to it, we thought it would be a great idea!

It was drizzling when we left the house at around 10am (with a quick detour en route to get a 'kitten nursing kit' from the animal hospital - hey, I said short break, right). By the time we got to KL it had become a rather heavy drizzle and we took an umbrella with us into the Park.

I thought it was rather interesting that the 'official' price listed at the ticket counter is the price for foreigners. However, if you cakap Melayu with them they'll give you the 'local' ticket price, although I was asked for my IC. It does say on their website that locals with MyKad get cheaper admissions than foreigners, so we were fully expecting this. It was not too bad, for the 4 of us it cost RM42 (RM15/ adult, RM6/ child), although I think if we had gone during the school holidays they may have had some promotios for families. I'm pretty sure Petrosains and Butterfly Park have those promotions.

As we were walking around, the drizzle got heavier! Even though the entire Park is covered with a huge black net to avoid the birds from flying away, nevertheless we still got drizzled on. Daddy went back to the car to get our other umbrella.

The boys enjoyed watching the peacocks wander around although they were a little freaked out when they aproached us. There were some monkeys on top of the netting (on the outside) and one of them kept shaking one of the towers, making an absolute racket!

Unfortunately, we didn't manage to capture any good pictures. Erm, actually, we didn't take any photos at all. That's because we had one hand holding a boy and one hand holding an umbrella!

Ah well, never mind. Despite the wash out, it was a good day out and about in KL on a public holiday.
