After Dublin, it was a trip to the South Coast, to visit Devon, another part of the UK we have never visited. Staying in a seafront beach hut, we had nice days out at National Trust properties, model villages - and, as this post shows, Pennywell Farm!

Summer saw us visiting Ireland for a couple of nights in Dublin.  Apart from trips to the Guinness Storehouse and Teeling Whiskey distillery, we had a lovely day trip to Cashel, Cork and Blarney Castle to kiss the stone. While all the details are in Singapore Report 61 - here are a few pics from the Rock of Cashel.

April gave us a couple of long weekends - so we booked a couple of trips to different parts of Malaysia. First up was Kuala Lumpur, the capital city, with a couple of viator/tripadvisor excursions. We arrived Friday morning, checked into the hotel, and were straight out to explore the Batu Caves, a series of Hindu shrines just outside of the capital. On the way, we called in at the Royal Selangor factory to see pewterware being made.
