Kuala Lumpur to Genting highlands

So we arrived in Kuala lumpur, Malaysia (KL) a few days ago. We enjoyed a few days of eating amazing food, meeting up with some old friends, and getting acclimated to the 15 hour time difference. We left KL to our first stop in Genting highlands and will spend one night here before we move on to the next sky island destination, Cameron highlands (CH). Just walking around for a little we got to see some pretty cool stuff, including pitcher plants (Nephentes), cloud forests, and some encouraging signs for our hiking trail selection.
