Citytrip to Christchurch – New Zealand
New Zealand, how we planned to go to this country and decided to skip it… and then ended up going there for three citytrips. A visarun citytrip to Christchurch and two transit citytrips to Auckland made us discover just a bit of this country and it asked for more! Our initial plan was to visit New Zealand after our travels through Australia, but now we’re not so sure. By the time we will leave Australia it’ll be late autumn in New Zealand. Soon winter will come and take away the sunlight and the warmth. Eventhough our time in Australia was mostly too hot and too dry, we are not going to New Zealand for the grey skies. Camping in the rain is not particularly our idea of a good time so we might skip this beautiful country for now… with pain…

Capetown is cool
After a long turbulent flight with transfer in Qatar we finally exit the Cape Town terminal. We sniff the air, how does South Africa smell? Ahhh good! With the MyCity bus we drive to the center for about € 6.50 per person. The bus is quite modern and not very crowded. After a large industrial area we drive past slums where the public toilets are lined up and the garbage bags are thrown over the fence. Pretty sad. Next everything is much greener and we even see flamingos in a river along the highway. Cool! The Table Mountain is very visible and looks impressive. At the foot of the mountain there is a small park where we see zebras running. The windows in the bus are open, the fresh wind blows in and smells like a barbecue. When we arrive…

Kuala Lumpur
In the terminal of Kuala Lumpur we buy a trainticket for 55 Ringet pp and we meet a man that is more than happy to show us the way to the train. He travels in the same direction so when we arrive at KL Sentral he shows us the way to the Monorel and tells us where to get of. The Monorel is a lot cheaper, 4 Ringit pp, and looks like a Amsterdam metro. Traffic in KL is the worst and because we arrived around 18:00 there was no way we could have taken a taxi. We need to get off at Raja Chulan and walk in five minutes to the hotel, an enormous thing with a nice pool and good reviews. Can’t wait! In KL they don’t use the number 4 in floors, so we are on floor…
