Email from the Ship: On 4-10-04 Sat at 3 am we docked at Port Kelang at the oil dock. Because of port regulations, passengers are not allowed on this port so at 5:30 am we were taken to the Crystal Crown hotel where we stayed for 2 nights. After the oil was loaded the ship had to anchor in the harbor until there was room at the cargo dock. So Mon am 4-12-04 the ship anchored at the cargo dock and we were allowed to come back on board.
This has been my least favorite part of the trip and I'm happy to be back on ship. While at the hotel we spent one day in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur.We took a 1 hour train ride to the city and spent the day shopping, going to the twin towers which are the tallest towers in the world, and we ate lunch at a Thai restaurant.. On Sun we explored a smaller town closer to our hotel- Klang. Helen leaves us today so it will be just Florence and I for the remainder of the trip. So I will miss my scrabble partner.
We are to leave here at 11pm tonight 4-12-04 but we never know for sure until we actually sail. It will take 2 weeks to get to the Suez Canal.
