Up to the lighthouse for one last time this morning before checking out from Ilham Resort at midday. I met up with a birding friend of the Cheaw's, Ng Kit Wan who was great company and other birders there were happy to share their knowledge of other good birding spots in and around KL and also recommended 'Pencil Hill' in Thailand as another great raptor migration viewing spot each October. At midday we all checked out and caught a taxi back to Seremban where we made a beeline for my favourite bakery, buying up custard tarts, curry puffs and other delights and then walked along several streets window shopping before heading back to Seremban Rail station to eat lunch and catch the local commuter train back to KL for RM6 each and then our usual LRT train onto KLCC and back to the Corus Hotel. We've settled back in now and caught up with the news on TV and are shocked and saddened by the extent of the tragedy in Japan that's unfolding. I've prepared my bags for tomorrow ready to catch an early train to Ipoh for the next 3 days and Linda and mum are organising their plans for the next three days in KL which will include the Malaysian cooking class and a early start tomorrow too to get in the queue early for crossing the bridge at the Petrona Towers.
