Road to Shah Alam

Our plane arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), the main entry point into Malaysia. This mammoth new airport is situated in Sepang, about a 45 minute drive from Shah Alam where we were staying. for a few days. The hotel had sent a driver in a Mercedes to pick us up.
We had a nice comfortable ride and the driver was very pleasant.

Kuala Selangor

Monkeys

After a couple of days rest we were ready to continue our journey.
We rented a car in Shah Alam, and drove to Kuala Selangor.
This is well of the beaten tourist track, most that go there are in search of birds. That is exactly why we are there also.
We rented a small cottage and planned to get some rest before going to the park the next day.
It was Chinese New Year and they set of fireworks all night long.
It was worth the trip though because we saw several birds, monkeys, and monitor lizards in the park.

Pretty Butterfly

Butterfly

I am sure that I have not been anywhere in the world that has prettier butterflies than I saw in Malaysia.
They are all so beautiful, you have to stop and stare.
