The final countdown - Final part

The holiday was drawing to a close and it was time to leave the tropical sunshine for the arctic darkness. Below a few photos from the last days.

Khuan-Ning.


Leong in one of his favourite positions, lying on the sofa. (And I hope that all of you follow the exhortation in the newspaper headline!)

Tiina met us at Helsinki-Vantaa airport and brought us the winter clothes that we had left with her for safe-keeping. To welcome them back to Finland, Thomas and Henry both got new SaiPa hats.

Sporting the new headgear. (From top to bottom: Tiina, Henry, Thomas.)

The series of posts about Elk's Street's trip to Malaysia and Indonesia ends with a photo of what Elk's Street looked like on our return - quite a contrast to the tropic greens of the south-east Asian jungles!
