Back from Batu

Everything is easily accessible. Have done the Hindu thing today and joined the throngs at the Batu Caves. Rudy and his family of indian heritage from Sth Africa talked about the three -Siva, Brahna, and who is that other guy? And about spirituality not religion. Batu is about one of Siva's sons M.... brother to Ganesha. Extraordinary place for zillions of reasons. The rapacious monkeys. The caves dripping ceilings so you get wet from that and the humidity. The hundreds of steep steps up, then you enter the first cave and go  down. On the other side you go up more steps this time with high rises. Temples within. Lots of sparkling saris. Their non venomous trapdoor spider. A film crew working with camers on runners. At bottom other temples and gaily painted archways with lots of deities. Garlands of real flowers.
