Anyway...back to our travels......
Last time we wrote we were leaving KL and heading on to Langkawi. Here are some piccies of the Sky Tower in KL (had to go to the top of that one too!) and the Petronas Towers which we didn't manage to get tickets for - will have to go back for that one!
Petronas Towers
Shy Tower
We were looking forward to traveling 1st class on the train......but it wasn't quite to our expectations! This is a photo of Tom on his bunk and then a photo of our cabin. Tom and I shared 1 cabin and Max and Neil another.
The journey would have been good but Max was suffering from a chicken curry that he had in Little India in KL the night before we left! Poor thing suffered a bit but was very good! From the train overnight we caught a ferry to Langkawi and Tom was sick......all in all we're pretty good travellers!!!
We soon settled into life in Langkawi. We were staying at a beautiful resort - thanks to Russ and Lorraine for the recommendation! We spent the next 5 days enjoying island life.....eating, drinking and lazing by the pool. We also manged a couple of walks along the beach - usually to sample the local roti canai for breakfast. Very good it was too!
Max and Tom particularly enjoyed the slides and bouncy castle by the pool but as you can see also had fun on the beach.
All in all we had a fabulous four weeks of sunshine and relaxation! From Langkawi we flew back for one night in Singapore where we had breakfast at the favorite 'Toast Box' - great for thick toast and eggs or in my case peanut butter toast! Another of the boys favorite places for tea - Subway! Oh how culturally aware they have become!!! At least they enjoyed roti canai for brekkie - maybe there is some hope for them!
Now it's down to business here. We will keep you updated of any news but will once again be struggling for internet access once we leave Auckland (that's my excuse anyway!!!) We will probably have the rest of the week here and then look to head south.
At least now the sun has come out here and the washing is drying on the line! Roll on summer that's what I think!
