Batu Caves; First Trip in April

I've not been very diligent keeping the blog posts current.  It has been a combination of lack of time and more importantly lack of dependable internet service.  Trying to get caught up on past posting, I wanted to share my first experience at Batu Caves (April). 

Batu Caves are located outside the city of Kuala Lumpur.  It is about a 30 minute taxi ride assuming no traffic.  This is one place all the travel guides say is a 'must see' when visiting Kuala Lumpur.  At the site, there are many steps leading up the side of a mountain, which enters into large open-air limestone caves.  The site has Indian religious site and has many temples and statues around.  I have been back to this site once more with some visitors to the city.  It is a neat place to visit.  There is also a 100% chance to see lots of monkeys, which is also exciting to most people (at least the first one or two that you encounter).  Enjoy the caves!
