Christmas Cheer

Bit of a different christmas this year, although Father Christmas still made it to our hotel in Singapore. Spent most of the day in our swimmers relaxing by the roof top pool and instead of mums delicious roast we ate surf and turf by the river at clarke quay. A lovely day made even more special by seeing family on skype back home. Merry christmas!

Malaysia

Getting into the backpacker mode now, with only 2 weeks in Malaysia Howard and i got our skates on. Managed to travel from north to south via 10 buses, 2 boats, 2 taxis, 1 scooter and our own 2 feet! Great few weeks. Malaysia is such a varied country, we started in the old town of Malacca, then walked in the Cameron highlands and wandered through tea plantations as far as the eye could see. From highlands to islands we spent some well deserved rest on Langkawi island. Saw fireflies twinkling in the mangroves (just like a christmas tree) in Selangor and ended in Kuala Lumpur to see the well known petronus towers.

Singapore

All you need is a big budget and an empty tummy. Shopping is expensive but the food is cheap. Singapore is delicious! Great city to walk around and explore and the cityscape once night falls is a must...a jewel of lights
