Dog Boarding!

While dog-sitting Floyd, a friend's Cavaspoodle, we discovered a fun pastime...

Wanaka Ski Trip

The first day of skiing was a no go because of near white out conditions.











Laura & (I assume) Caira.
















We made hats for everyone instead.













Some people were less than impressed with their creations!




















Ewwww, kissing!

Homeward Bound

Alex & I are in airport-land (Changi, to be specific), awaiting our flight home from Singapore. Alex is feeling better - but he had a rough night. Poor wee kitten.

I've really enjoyed keeping this blog/journal. Although I thought it sounded silly when Alex told me the plan, but I have to say he was right. Has to happen occasionally I suppose.

Thanks for keeping an eye on us over the last 5 months - it's been really groovy having you share our adventure with us.

Love Rach
(& Alex - who is somewhere in the airport too I hope...)

Kuala Lumpur

Alex & I spent our last non-travelling day cruising central KL.

"No, thank you, I do NOT want massage/ handbag/ sunglasses /crappy plastic toy."














I found this amongst the bikinis.

But hey, it's nice to see they have designed a swimsuit that satisfies the demands of hijab. No worries about skin cancer I suppose.

Ah, Islam, words fail me.














Then back to the fish nibbling place of course - oh yeeeeeeeeaaah.






















As I write this, poor wee Alex is sitting with a precautionary bucket reading (Alex is reading, not the bucket.). So a quiet night ahead for us as tomorrow we leave kooky KL and begin our journey home, starting with a 5hr bus trip to Singapore.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go and check on my patient....

Love Rach
