Beating jetlag
Woohoo…I don’t think I have ever been so happy to wake up at 3:45am before!!!
On Our Way Home in KL
Today we went to the buffet breakfast at our hotel in Kuala Lumpur then went swimming at the massive pool. After that we had lunch in the restaurant which was for me beef skewers. We then went up to the room to relax and watch T.V. Now we are in the restaurant and have just … Continue reading
Sunset Kuala Lumpur city style
We got in to KL around 6.30am after good flight, well fed and watered. Managed to watch two & a half movies including Hunger Games and a cool movie about Ice Hockey called Goon. I also got about half way through Fly fishing in Yemen, I will have to rent that one at home so … Continue reading
Ten things I hate about Paris
Paris…the city of love!..???

Chenonceau Castle in the Loire Valley
They had some very well set up rooms for us to look through. A chateau with a long history.

Every cloud has a silver lining…
But it is bloody hard to see it at night, in the dark, when you have had a long day and are tired…though thankfully tonight I was fortunate that the moon was bright enough to let me see a glimmer! The cloud in this instance was our reserved hotel…in particular their automated check in machine… … Continue reading
Visiting Venice and Murano, Italy
The thing I like most about Venice was Murano. Okay, so really Murano is a separate island to Venice altogether so what I have said is not entirely accurate. We did visit both places in the same day and I liked Murano the best. I have always like Art Glass and Murano is a glass … Continue reading
Pula – Croatia
Pula on the southern tip of the Istria Peninsula in Croatia was a lovely spot where unfortunately, we could only spend 1 night on our way around to Italy from Budapest, Hungary. It seems Pula has been a very popular place to visit for thousands of years as it has a very long history with … Continue reading
