The towers and KLCC

After we left the hotel, we walked outside to the beautiful view of the towers before walking over to KLCC...
We had a good meal to fill our bellies and then enjoyed the enormous shopping centre. Juliana loved their Christmas decorations...
A view of the whole scene from above...
She got a short nap in while the rest of us ate, so she was revived and ready to explore...
Here's a view of the towers from just below, where we were standing and admiring. In the middle is the sky bridge connecting them on the 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest two story bridge in the world. Something that makes the bridge unique is that it's not directly bolted to the main structures. Instead, the bridge was designed as a separate structure so that it could move in and out of the two towers, for protection during high winds, storms, etc.
I wish I could express how gorgeous they are, but it's so hard to do with pictures! The eighty-eight floor towers were constructed over a period of seven years, primarily using reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade.
Had to throw this picture in...she's enjoying the water of course!
I just love how happy she was...
Here are the rest of the travelers!!
Here we are, heading back in to the hotel after a great day of sight seeing! Check out the lovely Christmas tree made out of Heineken bottles...
None of the night pictures we took do the towers any justice, but here we are...
And just to show how beautiful it really is, here's a picture from the web of the towers at night all lit up...
When we got into our room, it took a bit for Juliana to adjust to going to sleep in a giant bed, but once she was out, Jacob and I got to enjoy some time together in the living room before joining her for some rest. By the way, that bed was really comfy!!!
