Finally arrived at our Hotel (Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside room 3219) in KL at about 9.00pm local which was about fourteen hours from home to here. We travelled on three different flights , Auck to Sydney, to Singapore to KL. Arrived very tired and finally got to bed at about 11.00 pm local. Slept until five then went back to sleep until eight. Felt much better after that.
Today we decided to take it quiet and just stay near the hotel before we venture out tomorrow and have a look around.
PUTRAJAYA. Putrajaya serves as the federal administration centre of Maylaysia. The seat of government was shifted in 1999 from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya due to over crowding and congestion in the K.L area. Nevertheless KL remains Malaysia national Capital, It is a purpose built city to cater for the overflow of Kuala Lumpur.
Covering 4932 hectares of former rubber and palm oil plantations it is now an array of monumental architectures amongst lush manicured greenery 25 Km south of Kuala Lumpur.
Its heart is a 600 hectare artificial lake fringed by landscaped parks with a great mix of buildings and bridges. There are nine bridges in all, The longest, at 435m, is the Putra Bridge. Probably the most popular one for photos is the sail-like Wawasan Bridge, The Bridges and Buildings look their best viewed from the lake by boat Cruise Tasik Putrajaya.

As we were arriving into Singapore.
Roadside of our Hotel.
The room to the right is a closed in porch then off that a balcony but far to hot to sit out there although there is this low mist hanging over the lake this morning with the sun trying to filter through.
Showing the very high ceilings .
View from our balcony. In the distance is the first bridge we can see that crosses over the lake. Hopefully tomorrow we will get closer to them as we are planing to do the lake cruise.
This morning the view over the lake was very hazy but by afternoon it had lifted.
The clock tower in the courtyard of the hotel.

Went for a walk along the lake edge this morning a bit hazy over the lake.
Looking back to the hotel. Our room is in the right hand block second floor.
Looking back across to the Hotel still hazy when this was taken this morning.

It was all about the Hotel and its surrounds today just trying to adjust our body clocks and now feel good tonight after a relaxing day.
