Day 2 - 27.07.15 - Where's Sophie's Bag?

We are now approximately 1 hour away from Kuala Lumpur and have been flying all day. Fair to say we all have very numb bums! And of course, I have made extensive use of the complimentary food and drink. Haven't managed to get much sleep as we have a very noisy sleeper sitting next to us - snoring and thrashing around every 5 minutes!! We did take a video but apparently you can't post videos on here. Had to keep reminding myself it's not acceptable to kick strangers on flights. The urge was almost irresistible. Think it's early nights for all of us!

Landed on time. Sailed through immigration to find that Lufthansa has lost Sophie's bag along the way. :( Sophie said before the flight that she always loses her baggage, and she's definitely lived up to it!! We are now on the KLIA express train to KL Central where we catch another train to the hostel - BackHome Kuala Lumpur. Apparently I look like a backpacker:

Our connecting train had broken down, so we queued for about an hour for a taxi to take us to our hostel. The taxi man thought Kelsey looks like Victoria Beckam and me an encyclopedia. Not sure if that's a complement or not. He taught us our first Malaysian word - Hello = abukarbu. (Phonetically). 
We dropped out bags off and headed out for some dinner. We found a small little corner shop that looked full. The waiter told us the best thing on the menu was a banana pratta (which we had no idea what this was) so we decided to give it a go. This is what arrived: 
A banana stuffed naan bread and some curry sauces! A cultural experience to say the least! 
Now we are just relaxing back at the hostel and getting ready for bed :)
