YOu WERE hERE
Malaysia
we were lucky to be able to visit rCi headquarters at Bundall and link up with
Jo who was able to help us locate a suitable exchange for us to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. we settled on “awana” in the Genting Highlands about 100 Km out of Kuala lumpur. we were a little apprehensive about how we might get to our resort as we were novices in regard to a foreign country and the availability
of transport within Kuala lumpur. However, we need not have worried
as the public transport system within Kl and surrounding regional areas is fantastic and cheap. Coach and rail travel is easy to access and the locals most helpful. Even the taxis were reasonable if you settled on a price before you entered the cab. it cost us about au$30 to get from Kl to awana.
upon arriving at awana, we were pleased with or unit and settled
in for an exciting week. we were traveling with friends we had met on our honeymoon and who were also celebrating their Golden wedding anniversary with us. the surrounding areas of our resort were lush, green rain Forest and being in the Highlands, the scenery was spectacular. the resort was about 6 km from the summit of the Genting Highlands
upon which sat the most amazing City. Genting City is composed of six
international Hotels, four Casinos, three theme parks and kilometres
of interlinking plazas, coffee shops, restaurants and shopping arcades. we spent hours shopping, exploring and getting lost in the myriad of escalators and passageways. it was great fun.
the resort itself is home to an international Golf Course which is beautifully manicured and remarkably cheap to play. the accommodation was good and the unit was serviced every second day. the food was excellent and there were six different restaurants
to choose from. we mostly ate at the hotel dining room where the choices on the enormous buffet were many and varied. we also sampled the food from the american Style Cafe & Bar as well as the Japanese, Korean, Hawaiian and the bistro attached to the Golf Club.
we were able to visit Kl on three occasions where we were amazed at the petronas towers, the variety of shopping in the up-market areas

beneath the towers and the many local markets. we found the “Hop-on Hop off” bus tour excellent to orient ourselves in this large city.
there were free shuttle coaches
from awana to the Genting City and also down to the Genting Skyway. the Skyway was a real highlight as this gave us many trips in the Cable Cars up the mountain to the City. Views were spectacular. other enjoyable ventures were the visits to the local markets around the Skyway centre and picking our own fresh Strawberries at a local farm in all, a great way to celebrate our Golden wedding anniversary thanks to Jo and rCi.
