Kuala Lumpur

Like many of the other cities Kula Lumpur was over an hour drive from the port.  In our limited time we wanted to see the Petronas Towers, the National Museum, and Independence Square. We just finished visiting those 3 sites and it started pouring rain and it looked like it would continue for a time.  We headed back to the ship, but we got a short flavor of the city.
