<\/p>\n7:00 am I was awake! Even less sleep than yesterday. Found a very early text from another couchsurfer suggesting to visit Batu Cave or waterfalls. I found that I am very close to the caves. Would take me a short 10 minutes taxi ride instead of one hour from the main station. 8:30 I was in the street to grab some breakfast. Pamela, the Ecuadorean couchsurfer, decided she will tour the city. I took a taxi to the cave!<\/p>\n
It is a cluster of three limestone caves. Inside the cave there is a temple and is reached by long stairs of 270 steps. At the foot of the stairs, a huge golden statue of "Lord Muruga" stands with a very shiny and kitschy yellow color.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is a Hindu temple with many people inside praying and getting some kind of blessings. On the stairs up, you find monkeys jumping all over the place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Even inside the temple that is located in the heart of the cave. The last cave is with an open ceiling and looks gorgeous.<\/p>\n

In this last cave, monkeys were jumping all around the place. I don’t remember when was the last time I saw so many monkeys. Observing them strikes you with how good they use their hands. While I was lost in my thoughts about evolution, origin of humans and religions, two disrespectful horny monkeys started banging each other in the temple! I smiled widely with the dispersion of all my thoughts! It was interesting to watch all the Hindu rituals performed there!<\/p>\n
It was a fast visit, by around 12:30 I was done and back to the city! Stopped in one of the too-many shopping malls to cool down and escape the heat. There I had a lovely peace of lamb meet for lunch, bought a swimming short to risk my life again in different islands\/beaches in the next few days!<\/p>\n
Now off to Putrajaya!<\/p>\n
