We are home, well-rested and tired. It was a wonderful two weeks packed with family and food, sightseeing and swimming, a complete break from our normal pace. With my sister at the wheel, we covered the length and breadth of the island, it seemed, from the zoo to water parks, cafes and shops, and incredible botanic gardens. My niece and nephews showered adoration on my girls, which left me with little to do but stretch out in their incredible home and enjoy the hospitality. I read. I knitted. I sweltered in the heat then retreated to airconditioning. I ate and ate and ate. And on the last day, finally, the monsoonal storm I'd been promised.
Tomorrow, pictures from our break within a break to Phuket.
Sigh, so many places with so many happy memories for me. X
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing......how fun is the zoo! Our kids just loved the 'water world' part :) Welcome home.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a brilliant trip! The photos of your little one overlooking the ponds are so beautiful. Wishing you a lovely week of resting, catch up washing (ok...not terribly fun) and cups of tea. Steph :) x
ReplyDeleteYay, you're back! Is there anything better to do than reading and eating? Well maybe knitting in your case. x
ReplyDeleteWe went a good few years ago now, I'd love to take my girls! Glad you had a great time! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all those wonderful pics ... one day I hope to go!

ReplyDeleteFantastic. We've taken our 4 to Singapore a couple of times, we had tour buses stopping to take photos of our blonde twins, bit of a circus. Hey, saw Sally (Wol) at our school reunion a couple of weeks ago, so much fun, we're going to try to catch up in Toowoomba one day (of course i live in Canberra, just to be further away!!) Love Posie
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I loved Singapore, pre-children. It looks like a great to travel with kids. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely time. We are trying to decide whether or not it's a good idea take the kids (4,4 and nearly 2) on their first trip overseas. I had been thinking about Singapore. You may have persuaded me...
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back here Greer! Looks like quite a trip. Those photos are amazing, so full of colour and life! x
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful time! I love Singapore.....pre children I travelled there every few months for work - nothing like walking out of the airport into the heat, I love it. So glad you got to have some time to relax and knit!
ReplyDeleteLoved your past posts too!
