I didn't mention the Zoo. We had a very nice breakfast then we saw the orangutans having breakfast followed by a photo shoot. Hoppy succumbed and bought one but it actually wasn't too bad. They also took one on our camera which I will send when we get it sussed, along with the trillion others. The zoo itself was OK - maybe I'm jusy getting fussy. We thought too, we may have had more interaction with the "O"s but no. Fair enough. It was better than a photo with a stuffed one. We'll have to go to Camp Leekie in Bourneo and have a cuddle with one. They are adorable.
Today we were at Port Klang - the port for Kuala Lumpur. We had a long bus ride to a home stay where we had a delightful snack of local cakes and tea. It was very yummy. Will try a few recipes when I get home! Their garden was also a delight with orchids and herbs and trees all growing in profusion and confusion! The house was equally interesting and unique. Hop left his film card behind so we wont send you any shots of today!
Langkawai tomorrow then 4 or 5 sea days to Mumbai and our exciting trip to the Taj. May have more time to get the much awaited and lauded photos away.
We're away now. to Australias answer to Andre Rieu OR Marigold Hotel under the stars on the open deck ....more decisions. Lotsaluv - the Hoppys XXXXXXXXXXXX
Sounds wonderful and extremely holiday-ish. Beautiful day here today, warm and clear and a little crisp around the edges. Lizzies birthday tomorrow, so another day off...nice! XX
ReplyDeleteLoving reading about your adventures at Sea. Mumbai will be a rush for the senses! We're enjoying Monday not being at work, instead woke up at Motahua Island. Nice, relaxing and peaceful. Not a fizz boat in sight to jostle us about. Ahhhh bliss! Looking forward to the Princess Diana pose at the Taj x
ReplyDeleteFinally a moment to update myself on your journey! Kids at mum and dads last night. Had a bit of a drama yeaterday, started with taking the kids swimming, managed to cut top of my foot on what I think was a broken or loose tile. Dad took the kids back to their place whilst I spent a number of hours at A&E then North Shore Hospital as the whole drama caused my blood pressure and heart rate to drop. All in all a day to forget!Happy travels!

DeleteHi from a chilly Christchurch. A beautifully 20 degree day here yesterday, today rain and cold, brrr. We are thoroughly enjoying reading about your travels. Mumbai is one of the many places on your trip Colin would love to experience, he keeps checking out cruises in that part of the world. Meantime we will continue to sail along with you both. Travel safe. Marg & Colin.
ReplyDeleteHi to you both. It is a wet and miserable day here dark and cold. Your trip sound great so far and lovely and warm. Keep up the R & R but watch those drinkies or they may come back to haunt you. I have landed my self on the committee and now in charge of catering. So hurry back with some great ideas as I will need some input. Take care and enjoy your travels. Jane S
