Awana Holiday!

Get it?

Hello again. It's been a complete mad house here in the cool cool mountains of Malaysia. The conference start tomorrow and heaps of people are signing up to be here at the last minute. I have spent the afternoon banging little nail crosses into bits of wood as a keepsake for the participants of the event.

Amongst other things, of course.

Sarah is in (another) meeting, and I have found some time to relax. We might even get some decent sleep tonight. And I'm meant to be on holiday!

Hang on, let me try and get some photos for you....

This is the pool. It's a bit cooler in the mountains so there is not much motivation to swim.
And as you decide where to enter the pool, why not try one of the handy dandy feet placement indicators? It certainly takes the guesswork out of the situation.

So as you can see it's all happening here in swinging Genting. Awana holiday....

Malaysia - It's certainly IN Asia!

Hi all.

Just a quick word from us. We are at Awana Genting golf resort in the highlands of Malaysia. It's much cooler up here than down in the sticks, and we are breathing a non polluted sigh of relief. I'm catching a few minutes with the laptop while Sarah is off touring the venue and organising fuction things. Something like that.

It's been completely mad up to this point. We booked into a hotel that had no internet access, so we have spent the last 36 hours running from internet cafe to Starbucks trying to find a wifi access point so Sarah could get some work done. KL is a twisty, turny and somewhat frustrating place, and everyone wants to make a buck out of you. Especially the taksi drivers. I should stop carrying a money bag with a $ sign on the front.

We went to a school yesterday and it caters for dispossesed children and refugees and it was just amazing what can be done with such little resources. I'll get some pictures of the school up here (once I convert them to a format I can use with this blog!) Anyways, I'll post more later. Here's the first pics of the blog:

Cheers, Nick.

Twas the morning of depature....

And at 5 am a happy Sarah and Nick got up WAY too early for their own good.

We're packed and ready to go, not too sure where we are staying tonight (we are still waiting for confirmation from our hotel) but unlike Mary and Joseph, we are confident that there will be room at the inn. Wish us luck. And keep your eyes peeled for photos on our blog. The more you look at now, the less we can bore you with them when we return.
