Chris and Kaylene at Loftus Road.

Smiley Isabella!
(Could it be that she has a present for her mom and dad?)

This is the famous Matterhorn mountain peak above the village of Zermatt.

A puppy dog. A St. Bernard puppy dog to be exact, spotted during a visit to Chamonix. Check out the size of it's paws.

A statue of the late, great Freddie Mercury on the edge of the lake in Montreux. The lead singer of Queen was a one time resident of Montruex, and in fact lived in the very same building in which I now reside.

The Chateau De Chillon, from the outside. This castle, which dates back prior to the 11th Century, is just a short walk from my apartment.

The Chateau De Chillon, from the inside. This room is known as ?the Alua Nova', or old festive hall of the Lords of the castle.

The Streets of Music?
 No, actually this is a traditional Swiss festival that takes place in villages and towns all over the country.

During the summer months the cows graze up in the mountains but as winter approaches the farmers march their livestock down the mountain.

The cows are dressed up with flowers on their heads and in some cases enormous bells around their necks.

As for the farmers, they also get dressed up a very traditional outfits. The gentleman in the middle is the most skilled 'tosser' I have ever seen - flag tosser that is. He hurls his flag 50 feet or more into the air and catches it as it returns to earth, all without batting an eyelid.

Meanwhile, his friends blow their horns to encourage the flag tosser to his flag even higher.

Celebrating Adrian's departure. Adrian is the lunatic lying across Nicholas, Shahn and Noah on the lounge. I don't know about the rest of them but I was actually a bit sad to see him leave as he is not a bad bloke, even for a 'Cane-Toad'.

Malaysian lobster anyone?

Here a few more photographs from my trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I stayed in KL for 9 days including 4 days of work.

The first picture is of me having an authentic, traditional Malaysian Chinese breakfast. You can tell it was the real deal because I am the only 'westerner' in the place.

The second and third photgraphs were taken in the Batu Caves, which are a Hindu temple just on the outskirts of KL.

Lunch with the Lopez Clan

Here are a couple of photographs of my little God daughter.

The first is with proud father Robin and I. In the second photo, Isabella is being held by he mum (Katherine) as she watches here dad and uncle 'goof off'.

These photographs are a collection from the Marche De Noel (Christmas Markets) in Montreux. This is a Christmas market fair held over the month of December.

When I returned from my recent trip to KL and Syndey I discovered the huge ferris wheel, which wasn't there when I left.

The market is full of different stalls selling all manner of little trinkets, clothing, candles, Chistmas decorations, food and drinks. There are also some stalls purely for display like the one with the farm animals where I tookl the photograph of the sheep with a little baby lamb.
