Day 4-5

port kelang, malaysia

Arrival: 18:00 - Departure: 17:00

Kuala Lumpur is situated at the meeting point of the Kelang and Gombak rivers and is the capital city of Malaysia and the commercial, economic, financial and cultural hub of the country. Kuala Lumpur is one of the emerging cities in Asia and it is undergoing rapid development and is now a bustling metropolis. Kuala Lumpur is a city of contrast, a mix of modern, cosmopolitan and old world charm. Old colonial buildings, temples, minarets and domes blend well against a backdrop of skyscrapers. The Petronas Twin Towers, one of the world’s tallest buildings, dominates its skyline yet the feeling of old world charm still lingers in the older part of the city. The lush greenery everywhere makes it a garden city and at night, its buildings and streets are brightly lit, transforming Kuala Lumpur into a city of lights. Kuala Lumpur is a multicultural city with a unique blend of customs, traditions, vibrant festivals, cultures and a vast array of delicious food. This dynamic city has much to offer for every visitor.

Jakarta, situated on the northwest of the island of Java, is the capital of Indonesia and the largest city in Southeast Asia. Jakarta is a massive city and one of the busiest and most energetic metropolises in the world, with plenty to offer, from historical and cultural sites, high-end shopping centres to traditional markets, one of the best restaurant scenes in the region and a lively nightlife. Kota Tua Jakarta is also known as Old Jakarta or Old Batavia. Kota Tua is where the Dutch immigrants settled and established their seat of government. Buildings showcasing Dutch architecture still stand around the Fatahillah square, most of which function as museums. Kota Tua Jakarta is located north of the city centre of Jakarta. Walking is the best way to explore the historical sites. Cafe Batavia, which dates back to 1805, is a famous restaurant with Baroque decor overlooking Fatahillah Square. Off-shore north from Jakarta's beach there are small islands called Kepulauan Seribu, the Thousand islands. They are part of the North Jakarta city government and a perfect spot to escape from city life.

Day 11

benoa - bali - indonesia

Arrival: 14:00 - Departure: 00:00

The southern part of Bali, although generally chaotic and overly touristy, boasts the best beaches on the island and several interesting sightseeing tours, so if you travel to this destination, I recommend you spend at least three full days there. If Bali is too crowded, the area of Kuta and its surroundings takes the biscuit: it was here where the first travellers arrived in search of surf and they also found a paradise to export. But despite the noise and the fact that Balinese culture is not as prevalent as in other areas, Kuta and its surroundings can also be enjoyed. Legian street is lovely, ideal for buying souvenirs or a dress while haggling with the locals; The beach is perfect for surfing and the best place to watch it, as it's full of surfers at all hours!; And the sunset is an event that you can't miss. The locals flock to the beach in droves, many of whom want to take photos with you, play football or simply swim; And spontaneous bars are set up with fresh beers and crates as local bars. There are beautiful sunsets that are harmless. Of course, the local lifestyle is shorter than in other parts of the island, or at least not so integrated, so don't expect to find a nice market or a temple on every corner.
