Batu Caves with Lili

My sister Lili, who's presently on holidays here from Los Angeles, thought we should check out Batu Caves. I've never been there before, not inside. Seen it countless times from the outside but never went inside.

There was a Sai Baba convention going on in the grounds.

Lili checking out the Sai Baba convention.

Lots of people, speech was in english, but didn't see any food.

There's a monkey god statue in the compound.

He is big and green.

With nicely cut toenails.

There's this small cave on the left of the main cave which I didn't know about. Fortunately my sister did and so we went in. Only costs RM2 per person. Inside this small cave are some rather nicely made figurines.

This guy looks more human than the sleeping buddha.

Then we went to the main cave which is the one with the one with the 272 steps to reach it.

Took the photo now before getting all sweaty.

This is the main cavern at the top. There really isn't much here but the view down the mountain is quite good. There are a few shops but filling the fridge musn't be fun at all.

Going back down the stairs. The Lord Murugan statue is the tallest in the world. The gold paint is from Thailand.

Monkey giving me a fierce stare.

Happy monkey.

Then we went to another cave. It has some more figurines but I think the first cave was better.

This is quite cute.

Deeper into the cave are some snakes.
