This is the view from the window of the Shangri-La hotel. Good view
of the Petronas Towers. Well, one of them!

Yvonne tucks into the first of many coconuts on Petaling Street!
|
Entrance lobby of the Shangri-La. Very grand.
|
I am trying to get a picture of the KL Tower at night. I am failing!
|
The English Pub in the hotel has put on some entertainment for us...
|
...I thought these guys were pretty good, really, even though they had
never heard of any of my requests!
|
Silly photograph time! We've made a habit of this when we've had a few.
|
Time for a gin and tonic! Note the 'Englishman abroad' outfit!
|
We're now on the road from KL to Penang. I've got one of these! Thank
God it isn't yellow!
|
Penang, Malaysia
|
|
Oh, a horse. Well that makes a change. Yawn!
|
|
|
|
The horse's owner makes the mistake of telling Yvonne that the horse
can swim.
|
Hey, he said it can swim! He never said it had gills!

Our beach-front bungalow.

Yvonne's pet lobster.

Did I say 'pet'? I meant 'supper'.
|
|
|
|
I'm not pissed, you know.
|
This is what happens when trusting hotel staff leave the keys in their
electric golf cart outside the hotel.
|
What was I saying about silly pictures after we'd had a few?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don't know if I fancy this...
|
... but I do now!
|
|
|
|
|
Well, if you'd ridden a white elephant like I told you, I'd have got
a better picture!
|
|
|
Our Thai Cooking class!
