Day 55.5 of 111 – (HALF WAY!) - Day 2 of 3 at sea on the way from Malé to Seychelles


Half Way!  At some point today we will be half way, day-wise, around the world. Sometimes it seems like we just left yesterday and then sometimes it seems like we have been gone a LONG time and are in another world.

Worth the climb to see inside this beautiful and unique monastery.   There were monks worshiping and you had to take your shoes off to walk into the holy parts and just hope the numerous monkeys that scampered freely in and out of the caves didn’t run off with your shoes.   Our guide, a green-card holding Malaysian with 3 kids, one brain surgeon in LA and two airline pilots, said he had already lost two hats to the monkeys. I hope I get a chance to post some pics. Then it was on to KL and the Petronas Twin Towers. The tour up the towers took you to the crossing bridge at the 43rd floor and you could gaze both up and down while walking between the towers.  ...
