Sunset Saturday I

This picture was taken more than two years ago on our first trip in February 2009 to Rawa Island just across the border from Singapore. We spent a dreamy weekend there, walking around the island, listening to the gentle breeze in the palm trees and watching the little fish in the cristal clear water. The sunset wasn't spectacular because of all the clouds in the sky, but the atmosphere was relaxed and exactly what we wanted for a weekend get-away.

Last-Minute Melakka

Having worked on stuff all week I finally managed to finish most things on Friday - and qualified for a treat during the weekend!

After lots and lots of tries we eventually got a room in the lovely Hotel Puri in the heart of old Melaka. And so we jumped on the bus for another journey to Malaysia, explored all the little shops and roads of Chinatown, enjoyed great Nyonya food, homemade apple pie and crepe, and then indulged in a fabulous spa evening....








Can you imagine how super-relaxed and happy you feel after you've been scrubbed with hibiscus, covered in cocoa and bathed in milk surrounded by flower petals?

I had the best night of sleep ever and felt like a new-born baby in the morning - ready to tackle another week of work.

wenn ich nicht hier bin...

...bin ich aufm Sonnendeck...

oh why can't the weekend be looonger...?

Bye Pulau Rawa!
Terima kasih for being such a cute island!
