Come back

Famosa Fort, Malaysia
Pattaya Beach, Bangkok
Buddhist Temple, Bangkok
Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, India
Hello my dearest buddies, I am back with a bang. I would like to share my experiences of my pleasure trips with all of You.
Our family and another family friends of ours started off with Trivandrum sight seeing like palaces temples beaches etc. We left for Kanya kumari and went on to see the great Vivekananda rocks and the thiruvalluvar statue by a ferry which was very exciting since it was high tide and the boat was bumping and tilting enabling us to think that we would topple down.We went to a temple there,and saw the beautiful sunset which was lovely like a painting.We waited patiently for the sun to set and then left the place.

We took off to Kuala lumpur and checked into a nice hotel and little India was just a few yards away. We just kept wandering here and there went to the petronas towers to have a glimpse and view of the city, and also visited the telecom tower.

We went to the Orchid garden where we got to see lot of orchids which were a pleasant sight for the eyes, the the butterfly park where we saw thousands of different kinds of butterflies which were a feast for the eyes and which we have never come across flying all over us.

We went to the bird park where we got to see different species and colourful birds.It was so exciting.
We visited the Batu caves where we had to climb 272 steps to get to the cave to see some nice temples inside.There was a huge statue of Lord Murugan.It was a good experience climbing the vast steps and then coming down.

We went to the Genting Highlands where they take You by a Cable Car to the highest point, and there we visited the Casino and were there for some time and the husbands were busy playing in the casino and we went to the theme park to go in all the wild rides and enjoy ourselves.

We came down in the Cable car and celebrated the New year's eve in our hotel.

We then bade bye bye to Malaysia and left for Bangkok. We visited a lot of Buddhist temples in Bangkok especially the sleeping buddha which is very lengthy and difficult to capture in our camera, went to the floating market where we go on a small boat ride in the water and come across vendors selling goods also sailing in their boats and we get close to them and negotiate the items tobe bought from boat to boat which is something new not found in many places.They sell fruits ,bags show pieces and other things in their boats which you can buy from them from your boat.

We went for a Thai Dance show which was very spectacular amid astounding settings on the stage which would change by the blink of an eye.
The thai dancers were so beautiful and they were very friendly and would oblige us by posing with us for photographs.

We then left for Pattaya an island resort in Thailand and went to the beach and sat for hours together and there were lot of different vendors selling fruits,icecreams,also they offered to do manicure and pedicure right there.It was a unique experience for all of us.
The highlight of our programme was all of us underwent a foot massage in the thai parlour which was very relaxing after a long walk. We also underwent the fish Spa where we had to wash our legs and dip them inside a fish tank with a lot of cute tiny fishes which would go round our foot and remove the dead skin.
All in all we had a beautiful vacation and were back to our destination to start off our routine though we were in no mood to be back.

Now I am back to blogging which ofcourse I did miss a lot.
