MariJ Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 That's exactly what I've wondered, Debby as I haven't seen any of them around either! But, maybe that's the key - the pool is on the roof! Don't worry, I'll hold tight to the rope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Debby and Marilyn, Be Careful!!! ? Hold on to the rope... (and let us know if you find the pool. ) Hilary: I'm glad you caught up with us. I'm still munching my delicious desert. It's evidently a Himalayan specialty made from mixed dried fruit. The waiter is kinda cute, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatlady Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Diane I wonder if that waiter doubles as the pool boy and can give us a clue to where the pool is. I hope they can make California Eggs Benedict with the avocado slices...I would love to have that this morning being up on top yesterday made me hungry for a nice breakfast. When I was up on top I went forward to the engine but didn't see a thing. I looked for water splashing, bubbles and even steam in case they only have a hot tub. Today I depart the train for a long weekend of camping so I will go toward to the caboose on Monday when I am back. If anyone sees anything suspicious let us know Marilyn and I are determined to find that pool/hot tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 18th November For those who are interested we have arranged for you to take a trip to Base Camp of Mount Everest, and because science doesn't work on this trip, you don't have to walk there. Once we have returned post your peace/calm layout in the Hodge Podge Gallery when you have finished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I never had California Eggs Benedict but that sounds yummy. I'm off to the dining car and will save a ScrapGIrls' table for whomever wants to join me!

Florida granny Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hi, Belle! I'm glad you have your electricity back. Here's my layout for peace and calm. By the way, it was great seeing everyone at breakfast. Thanks, Marilyn, for reserving a special SG table! (Of course, now they know who we all are. ) I'm definitely going to the Base Camp! ? Who all is joining me? Ah... more exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapgran Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hilary & Marilyn - The Cocky Apple is named because the cockatoos eat the fruit, the fruit of the Kapok tree was used for bedding because of the cotton like filling in it and the mother-in-law flower is named from an aboriginal legend.

MariJ Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 @scrapgran Thanks Laraine, that's really cool and very interesting! And, each name really fits each plant. I know I saw cockatoos in Australia but I wonder if I saw the other trees and blossoms? THANK YOU, Laraine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks you! I had wondered if Kapok was the same stuff that filled childrens' toys back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hmmmmmm.. What is everyone up to today? I wonder where we'll be traveling and what adventures await us. Until then I'm getting hungry, anyone know what the breakfast special is? Something smells good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 19th November Today we have arrived in Sukhothai, Thailand. This ancient city was the capital of the first Kingdom of Siam in the 13th and 14th centuries. There are numerous temples and monasteries to explore today. Start a new Layout with building as your inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValerieT Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 20th November No surprise we have more dancing for us today. This time it's Khon, a traditional dance in Thailand with brightly coloured costumes and masks. There will be monkeys, demons, singers, artists narrators and a chorus, it's almost like a full stage show. If we all manage to behave ourselves they may even let us join in. Add something red/orange to your layout (for the colour of bricks). Post your layout in the Hodge Podge Gallery when you are finished.

MariJ Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Yesterday's tours were amazing and so interesting. I'm looking forward to the fun for today. We'd better be sure we don't lose some of our members into the dance troupe if they get carried away! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatlady Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I took a break from all this camper get together stuff to make this page. There is so much going on here I will be glad to get back on the train tomorrow night. The temple tours must have been awesome I'm so sorry I missed them but this event has been great fun. I think the dancers costumes are gorgeous. Have fun everyone and looks like there has been no trouble lately......nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
