Kuala Lumpur
A slightly surreal day today...from the
depths of the rainforest to the hustle and bustle of the capital of
Malaysia in just a few hours. |

Arrun our 'coach captain' showing us how rubber is tapped

Ooops!
(not fair really because the waiter juggled the beer
and Laurie caught it...with his crutch!) |

Dinner at the Coliseum, suitably attired for sizzling
steaks

It was Nick's 30th birthday..so he had a cake |

We had a beer when we got back to the hotel |

snow...why??? |
