Next Destination : Sri Lanka



Our journey continues.  Our next destination is Sri Lanka. We will spend 12 day travelling around Srilanka. Our plan is to start in Colombo, visit Sigiriya (near Dambulla) and the north Central Province, Kandy and end in Negombo city.

We arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) terminal 1 late on a Thursday night.  Our plan was to continue on an Air Asia X Flight to Colombo the following morning.



Because the Air Asia X flight left around 10.00 AM (from KLIA2), we decided to overnight at Tune Hotel KLIA 2.

We had to wait a while for baggage to arrive at the carousel from Lufthansa, then from KLIA, we  needed to take the train to KLIA 2.  This is a short trip (approximately three minutes).  



The trains are clean and efficient, and run every 15-20 minutes. The ticket price is 2 Malaysian Ringgits per person each way. 

(Inconveniently, there are no airside transfers between terminals at KLIA, so if you want to transfer between a full-service airline and Air Asia, you need to clear Immigration and Customs, and then do it all again at the other terminal).

To be Continued :)
