Argentina Part 1

Getting from our home in KL to Buenos Aires is a 36 hour trip!
KL - Dubai - Sao Paulo - BsAs

Shame though that the Dubai -Sao Paulo flight was "only"16 hours - we were upgraded to First!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoyed every single minute!!!






In Buenos Aires it was quite cold, but we got up early on a Sunday morning to experience the totally deserted city all by ourselves!




Normally jammed with traffic...

After noticing they have alcohol free beer in Argentina, I realised how I missed it in Malaysia!

Next day, my parents arrived and we did another city tour.

Cafe Tortoni, the eldest cafe in Bs As...

and we took the Subte "Linea A", the oldest metro in South America (built by Germans!)

El Caminito in La Boca

Now we´re in Cordoba, so watch this space for next week´s update!

Pangkor Laut Resort

We spent last weekend at Pangkor Laut Resort - on its own little island off Pangkor Island, off the west coast of Malaysia, app 3 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur.

The whole weekend, we did... nothing! :-)

The island is covered with rainforest (above) and we often saw Hornbill birds (below, click to enlarge).


Sunset at Emerald Beach





Breakfast next morning...

... and to the beach again...!

... lunch...

... and more beach...!




Our hillside villa with an outdoor bath

and a great view from the balcony...

After dinner we did a final tour of the island...

Maria's visit in Dubai

I know, it's September now, and Maria visited us in April, but she just sent these great photos, and I wanted you to see them! A nice reminder of Dubai, too!

A rainy day in KL

We moved our balcony breakfast a little inside, as it was raining heavily!



In the afternoon, we went to Carcosa Seri Negara, the former residence of the British Colonial Governor, for afternoon tea (sandwiches, pastries, scones, strawberries... and tea!), while it continued to rain!
