Today's highlight was having a fish foot spa in the Bukit Bintang area of KL. Many Garra Rufa, a type of tropical fish, also nicknamed 'Chinchin Yu' nibble at your feet, consuming the dead areas of skin and leaving the healthy skin to grow. Admittedly it nearly freaks you out to begin with as they immediately swarmed upon our feet the second we placed our feet in the shallow pools like a bunch of pirahnas. But at the end of the session it feels enjoyable and mildly ticklish. Before that we'd stopped at a traditional chinese herbal tea shop and sipped from bowls some very strong, dark licquorice flavoured tea - along with that we were given a 'treat' to follow the tea which was wrapped in paper like a sweet and I suppose is their equivalent of an 'after dinner mint' except this one tasted of a cross between very strong liquorice and aniseed - we could only manage a nibble. We'd decided the Lester Wong the tailor wanted too much to make dresses and so returned to KL Sentral station where we retrieved our luggage we'd left in lockers all ready to catch the train to Seremban, and from there a taxi onto Port Dixon. The day ended with a nice dinner here at Ilham Resort at Cape Rachado where the great raptor migration occurs each year at this time. High tide is at 4pm tommorrow and so we're all looking forward to a swim in the Malacca Strait and I plan to get up early before breakfast to take a walk up to the lighthouse birding all the way.
