Very weird outing today. Firstly a bit of background, at least seven years ago we visited KL and saw an exhibition showing that the city was going to spend many millions of ringgits to improve the waterfront of the river that flows through the centre of KL.
Today we trekked through a very run down area to reach the start of the improved area, and the only nice thing that we found to photograph along the way was a Hindu temple.
There was a modern bridge at the start of the alleged vibrant waterfront and a rather uneven walkway.
However, there was not another person in sight, and the river ran in a very tatty concrete funnel.
The only life that we saw were a few giant lizards lying along the concrete banks.
I did notice waste bins along the walk that were branded with a cheery River of Life logo, but nothing else that I could mention.
However, there was a few good views on show.
Once we reached the centre of town there are mist making machines in front of an ancient mosque that are very nice, although those were already there on our last visit.
Still, it was an interesting walk and we weren't paying for it so we can't complain.
I was very surprised though when I looked online at the official website and apparently the works are 97% completed.
