http://brianhewitt.smugmug.com/gallery/1379381_5UfJX/ The Batu Caves are located north of the capital city of Kuala Lumpur and function both as a monkey playground and as a hindu shrine. I don't recall the exact number of steps (I was too busy clinging to the railing to keep from rolling down the shallow steps), but there are a huge number. Enough that having ascended and descended them once, I never felt the need to return. (Now that I have a better camera, I may well return when I next visit Malaysia to collect some better monkey pictures!) http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Travel Wed, 30 Nov -001 00:00:00 -0800 Tue, 18 Apr 2006 11:56:13 -0700 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
