Raining in KL
By the time we left the hotel it was midday. I was still feeling tired, but our time here was limited so we had to do something. We acceeded to Alex’s demands and caught a monorail a couple of stations up, then a light rail to Pasar Seni, the Central Markets. B was looking for… Read more

Exhausted in Kuala Lumpur
The path through Kuala Lumpur International Airport was, by now, a familiar one. At least this time we could promise Alex that, yes, he could catch the train lifts as we descended to join the KLIA Express service to the city. The light was beautiful as we raced past palm plantations and the amazing architecture… Read more

Briefly Brussels
Here we are at the A-Train hotel in Amsterdam after a day on the trains. A long day on the trains. We said a sad goodbye to Paris, catching a packed metro train and then a RER train up to Gare du Nord station. We were early and there was not much to do but… Read more

Markets and spectacles

While shopping for groceries at the supermarket the previous night had been a painful ordeal, the opportunity to mingle with the locals at the stall selling fresh produce, breads, meats, seafood and miscellaneous items… Read more

A birthday in Paris
Alex has been talking about this day for months. He wanted so much to turn three so he can do “martial arts” at preschool with his slightly older friends. And he knew a bit about Paris thanks to some books brought back by his Nanna. He opened his presents, a complex Swiss wooden puzzle and… Read more

A noisy remembrance
In Australia we commemorate the 11 of November with a minute’s silence to remember those who have fallen in war. In Zurich the town centre is invaded by colourfully dressed brass bands playing loud music. But only because of the extra 11. It was 11-11-11 (well, 2011) and we were wandering through the old streets… Read more

The kingdom and the castle
After a very comfortable night’s sleep we arrived downstairs to a breakfast that included Kristina’s famous hot toasties. Saving our legs we bought day tickets on Pragues public transport system and caught a tram down to Prague’s funicular. The line runs up to Petrin, through a pretty park. Alex loudly declaimed his Daddy’s error in… Read more
