LANGKAWI

We met Rebecca at the airport and flew to Langkawi together - a quick flight and arrived by 9.30am, although without any sleep the night before, it felt like 10pm at least. Our hotel is a bit tired and old but the pool more than makes up for the slightly crusty bathroom. It's hot here of course but not too humid and the afternoon storm is a lovely relief from the heat. We haven't seen much of the island and probably won't either. We occasionally leave the pool to go to the beach down the street and also to take an afternoon nap, life's hard!

 Hope you had great birthdays Emily, Bella and Georgia.

 

FRANKFURT AND SNOW!

Our flight home started in Frankfurt so we spent a night there to make getting to the airport easier and we're gad to have done so. Frankfurt doesn't have a lot to see but it's a nice city all the same. We enjoyed the Christmas markets and Ruby enjoyed the shop window displays in a large department store - like the Myer windows. The best thing however about Frankfurt was snow. It had snowed the night before we arrived so the trees were covered and there was enough on the ground to make a small snowman...just. Ruby didn't mind that it was wet and cold. We're so glad to have seen even a little snow before we left, just made it!
