Reubens Birthday

Reuben the birthday boy Himself



With friends



Reuben had clowns at His birthday.



We went to Pizza Hut.



And waited



And waited....



But then Reuben told us a story.



The End

Happy Birthday Reub's.

ANZAC Day

I think I'll leave this just as a pictorial.













Thanks to all those who risked and those who paid with their lives for freedom.

The Long Way Home

A little late, but as promised. The way back home from Huittenin -> Helsinki -> Copenhagen -> Singapore -> Christchurch ended up taken 57 hours.

Finland:

Huittenin to Helsinki, 3 hours drive.



Sunburst on the way home.



Saying Goodbye at Helsinki International Airport. Anna with Her mother in the background. We swapped mummies before I left.




Denmark:

Copenhagen Airport goes for the industrial look.



The Copenhagen Hilton was nice.



My sleep however, was not.




Singapore:

The famous Raffles Hotel. Infamous for being the site where the last remaining wild tiger in Singapore was shot. Pretty good for a former POW transit camp though.



Sir Stamford Raffles Himself. Founded Singapore and ended stop the slave trade.



Took a boat down the river.



The rest of the tour party.



Accross the river, China town.



Singapore is a very built up city.



Good to see that the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians weren't the only ones with a good imagination. Singapores Mer-Lion. Anyway, my money would be on Merlion vs Sirus the Egyption, assuming aquatic conditions.



Back Home:

Feeling the respect......



Or not.....



Over and out. J
