Birthday celebrations at Port Klang
Today we celebrated Maya's birthday with a day out to Kuala Lumpar which is Malaysia's largest and capital city with a population of 1.8 million. The greater KL area is 7.2 million...We hired a taxi and driver for the day and went to view the city from 88 floors up from the Petronis twin towers. These towers are the tallest twin towers in the world but their height is surpassed by the Taipei 101 tower. The total height to the top of the spire is 451m. Unfortunately we could not go to the observation deck as it was booked out for the day, but we had a nice lunch and peruse of the massive shopping mall followed by a walk through the park with fountains and pools.

About Me
- Cathy and Eric
- We met in 1971 and it was Eric's dream to build his own yacht and sail the world. This became a joint dream but it was not until 1994 that we were able to start building. "Erica" was launched in 2001 after 7yrs building her. It then took us 5 yrs to prepare her and ourselves before leaving NZ to see the world
