I have filled a little more of the castle in, which will have clouds over it later on. Think I have a slightly weird shaped building. I am never good at straight lines. Oh well, it is a mystical castle.
Have decided on a tree at the side which I am slowly creating. I will need some colour around as the unicorns are white and will need a slightly darker background to help them stand out.



                                                                    

                                                                               

BORNEO.

It is now time to say goodbye to this fantastic country and holiday.  We have had such a special and lovely time. The friendliness of the people, the beautiful countryside, and the experiences we have had.
From para sailing, which considering I do not like heights, I was not too sure I would be able to do it, but which  I thoroughly enjoyed. Floating up above the sea as high as the line would go, being dipped into the sea as well.
 Crossing the oldest, longest,and most modern rope bridges, I enjoyed making them sway! The child coming out in me.
The feeling of peace and calm in the temples, and the beauty of them all.
I also got to  go deep sea diving along the coral reef in the South China Sea. I was lucky enough to have just the instructor and his son who he was training with me. If  I had been in a group with others, especially if they were all youngsters, it might have been harder to keep up with them.We explored the reef and saw some beautiful fish, were joined by a turtle who swam and played with us. Only problem was that I had to keep being weighted down as I have a tendency to float up!!  Thankfully we did not see any sharks, that might have made our leisurely dive not so much fun.
But the one experience and thrill to top all the others, will be the touch of an orangutan putting out it's hand to feel you, and the hug I was given by a young one.

From plants to a walk in the forest. Orchids to turtles, fantastic smiles and happiness, our furry relatives, challenges, spectacular sunsets, and even to beautiful presented laundry at the hotel.

                                                        

Evening sundowners whilst watching the ball of fire going into the sea.

Gardens to admire and stroll around.

                 What's a little exercise amongst friends.







Hotel laundry returned to you beautifully packed even to an orchid laid on top.





                               And a special farewell to our dear friends.




                                                             

GOURDS.

A new hanging basket waiting to be planted out.

Another two lamps created by Klaus. He is certainly getting very clever at them.

Have a lovely week wherever you are and see you next time.
