As the trip draws to a close we have been deciding on our favourite experiences during the trip. In no particular order we think:
Swimming! And boy we’ve done a lot. It’s been great to see the children improve and Luke learn to dive.
The overnight trains – the adventure of climbing into your own little bed on a moving train and being somewhere completely different when you wake up!
Climbing s live volcano – the sense of achievement, the beauty of the scenery and the learning experience.
Riding bikes together. We’ve ridden old ones, new ones, funny ones and broken ones but we’ve enjoyed them all and the speed they take us through the countryside and villages with everyone waving and shouting to us.
Enjoying the fantastic hospitality of Tony and Ally and cathcing up with the cousins. A fabulous way to start our trip. Thanks again guys!
Elephants. Feeding, hugging, washing, riding we’ve loved it all.
The Perhentian islands – truely a tropical paradise with amazing diving, snorkeling and an amazing hotel with unbelievable food. Happy to recommend if anyone is ever thinking of visiting. One day we might go back…..
Last but not least the people we have met. The entertainment value of Susie being trated like royalty (shame we onlynfound the t-shirt which said “no photos please” in the last few days!). The kindness and consideration of just about everyone we have met, from the man who invited us to his home, to the train conductors, the hoteliers and the innumerable random people on the street.
There are so many more things we have loved, this is just a very small selection!
