breakfast.....banana pancakes with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup!

Beautiful grounds at the hotel...
Look at all this green space!!!! So....this is what grass looks like!

We went to a demonstration to learn how to wear a sor-rong

(I will look up the correct spelling for sor-rong later!)

Do you recognize these people? It looks like they have been taken hostage!

Ah......these are very handy items....they can be worn on the head...or...

as a dress....or...

as a skirt....you can even where them to greet the king!!

tropical flowers...

After lunch we took a taxi into the small town by the hotel. We needed some Malaysian currency and the only ATM at the airport in KL was "out of order".

Sights from the town.....I like how their cars match their houses!! Very colorful!

Fruit market...
More town...
Produce at the supermarket..

Ah...I love it when raw chicken is sold right next to the fresh produce! I am starting to feel at home!

After the excursion into town it was pool time again! Abi joined the water volleyball game.

And....played on the beach..

And the sun set on the China Sea...
We got out of our swim suits and went to dinner...
