20th Wedding Anniversary

The 2nd March 2011 was our 20th Wedding Anniversary.
To celebrate we headed to Malaysia and enjoyed a few childless days relaxing in a flash hotel.
It was such a treat to stay somewhere with modern conveniences that either do not have, or cannot afford to use at will, in Cambodia, for example the room hosted a bath, hot running water, air conditioning, a flat screen television and a coffee machine.
The hotel itself had a lovely pool, Live Jazz music and an amazing array of wildlife.
We enjoyed some outdoor activities while we were away. A dive trip and a kayak trip. Oh so nice to be in the outdoors!
The hotel brought an anniversary cake to our room. (This is a dinner size plate) We enjoyed it together each night with some wine and coffee.

One of my favourite things from our time away was seeing the Colugo (Flying Lemur - which is not actually a Lemur). Here is a picture I took of one asleep. They are nocturnal and live solely in trees. They move from tree to tree by gliding between them. To sit and eat dinner with these delightful primates gliding between trees here and there was absolutely fantastic.
