Totally, we felt so lucky to find it largely empty in the middle of the day!!
Oh bless you, that sounds a stressful time – we are feeling a bit better now but have been wiped out the whole week, so we’re super glad we didn’t go away in the end 🙂

Thank you so much – we had the best time exploring and having it to ourselves was a treat. Thanks for stopping by and reading the start of my Kuala Lumpur posts Leighton 🙂

Exactly, it really wouldn’t have been ideal trying to push through and being sick round every corner. Not fair on other travellers either.
As for the temple, it was one of my favourite holiday experiences – we couldn’t believe how empty it was and had the best time exploring 🙂

Totally agree, it’s the first time it’s ever happened to us. BUT I have been ill for the entire week so couldn’t have enjoyed the trip anyway even if I’d gone. Thank you for your kind words Aiva and I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend xx

Ooo that’s so lovely you’re going to be visiting KL soon – where are you on the way to with your friends?
We are feeling a little more human now, and are very glad we didn’t travel as we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the trip anyway. I think that’s the way to be – sometimes things just aren’t meant to be.

The temple is so fabulously ornate. I can’t believe how uncrowded it is. That’s so rare. Stuff like that is usually heaving.
I’m behind on my reading (I’m in the midst of parent-teacher conferences, so a bit busier than usual) so I’m hoping by now both you and your husband are feeling better. That norovirus is supposed to be miserable – I’m so sorry you had it, but you’re right: flying would have been terrible. I’ve flown while sick before (both times out of necessity) and it was awful. Get well soon, both of you.

I’m so sorry that you and your husband have been so ill and had to miss your trip. But if you had gone you would have been so miserable and it wouldn’t have been a fun trip at all. Here’s hoping you both getting feeling better soon!
This temple is stunning! What a beautiful way to escape the busy city for a little while. And having the place to yourself must have been a real treat.

I am sorry to hear you had to cancel a trip to New York due to illness. Being sick is bad enough, but it’s even worse if you have to cancel an upcoming trip because of it – the fastest way to spoil your long-anticipated vacation is to get sick. I hope you are feeling much better by now. Just focus on healing and let your body do its amazing magic. I’ve travelled with mild flu before, but having anything above it, I couldn’t justify to myself the risk involved. As for the temple – with its red lanterns, distinctive decorations and colourful architecture, it’s a truly gorgeous temple that I could spend hours exploring. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx
