Hi Everyone. Our second photo entry, and there's lots to tell you about...


We enjoyed a wonderful last day of Chinese New Year with Connie and her family in Kuala Lumpur. Connie was part of a team that came over from KL Baptist Church to Olton Bapist Church for the 2005 Baptist Congress. We went to KL Baptist Church in their brand new and very lovely church complex, and Connie looked after us all day and into the evening. Bless you Connie! Below, we're eating a Chinese salad which was sooo tasty & really delicious.

Some of the raw ingredients for our "steamboat", which is a traditional local dish, and it really brings the family together as you have to work as a team to prepare it! Like fondue but a bit different....

The Petronas Twin towers, the tallest twin towers in the world and very new

View from the Boh Tea plantation, Cameron Highlands (very cold, very wet, but very green!). We were there at the same time as Penny's Uncle Peter & Auntie Susan, which was lovely. We ended up travelling with them by taxi down to Kuala Lumpur, which was unexpected but very lovely.


One of the many species at the Butterfly Farm, Penang.


One of many creepy crawlies in our bathroom......... well, if we're being honest, it was also at the butterfly farm!

One of the views from the top of Penang Hill, our major climb of 820 meters over 5 km, in baking afternoon heat - well done us ;-)




Amongst many other interesting facts, at the Tropical Fruit Farm Penang, we learned that pineapples DON'T grow on trees - there is only one per plant per year and they grow on the ground!


That's all for now, hope you enjoy our latest entry. Check the link at the top of our blog page and see more photos at Flickr.

Lots of love from Penny & Linda xx

Brill photo's, glad you are still having such a good time. The Petronas Twin towers was used in the film Entrapment, good to know you have seen it first hand! It has been really sunny here today, a real feeling of Spring coming, the daffodils are coming out, but the wind is bitingly cold! Rather be where you are although it does look rather beautiful here too. Have been on a day course entitled, 'How to be a vicar'. Amazing that they can get that in all in one day!!!!
Until we 'talk' again, God bless

I was just thinking that you'd not posted in almost a week. Great to hear what fun you're having - even if it just makes me even more jealous that you're having such fun!! :P
