Five photos for Cee’s CBWC
This challenge kept me very busy for a few hours! Lots of fun editing and colouring in.
Cee says photos can be black and white, desaturated, sepia (brown tones) or selective colour.
This week for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge the theme is Old and New.
Over the years we have stayed in a variety of establishments – from two star to five star. It’s not always the five star hotels that are the best, I prefer ones that are a bit quirky and a view is even better.
OLD
Named after an American town and in the style of a Portuguese villa but located in Japan! This was a very cute hotel complete with an iron gated elevator. There is also the famous Chapel Bussola with its magnificent spiral staircase and stained glass windows. A sensational place to hold a wedding.
The Hotel Saigon Morin is not located in Saigon but in Hue which is around a three hour drive from Da Nang. Established in 1901 by a French businessman Mr. Morin and built in a French colonial style with a wonderful courtyard inside the hotel. Over the years many famous people stayed here, one was Charlie Chaplin. In the evening they have clips of his old films showing on the wall.
Both of the above hotels are small boutique hotels. The Plantation Hotel had a fantastic swimming pool in the middle of the buildings surrounded by palm trees and our room opened up onto it.
The Belle Rive Hotel in Luang Prabang overlooking the Nam Khan River. We had the bottom left room, complete with our own front door. We loved this hotel and walked over the road in the morning to have breakfast by the river.
NEW
The Stones, Bali
We enjoyed our stay at The Stones in Bali, such an opulent hotel. The bath was on the balcony, we never did use it! As you can see there is also a helicopter landing pad on top of the hotel. We stayed here for a week a few years ago when there was an extremely well priced trip from Perth in the local paper.
The Taj Krishna was definitely a five star hotel, complete with excellent service. We stayed here for a week with our two travelling companions, Laurence and Maddy a few years ago and had the best time. The staff here could not do enough to make our stay memorable.
Staying here was part of our road trip across five states. We had a wonderful room overlooking the ocean.
I couldn’t resist Cee’s CBWC challenge for this week. A wonderful opportunity to show off my precious grandchildren. I also successfully mastered colour fill.
These two beautiful children bring the most joy to my life. We are very fortunate to be able to see lots of them. Lachie turns 3 in June and Rosie is almost 8 months. Rosie suffers from Severe Acid Reflux and has her milk fed to her through a tube. We are all hoping that this will gradually improve and be gone by the time she turns one in September. It has been a hard journey for my daughter and her partner, and took a while to be diagnosed. However as you can see Rosie is the happiest baby and is always smiling and laughing out loud at Lachie’s antics.

Water, Water Everywhere for Jed
So cheeky of me, but it’s been a while between challenges
Looking up the other morning while having my coffee outside, my eye caught sight of this large spider web. I thought it would make a good photo. It’s quite a deceptive shot as there is the lawn between the web and the bougainvillea.
Posted as part of Becky’s Bright Squares.
For Becky’s Bright Squares and Debbie’s Six Word Saturday a few of my boys.
Very demanding boys, but our two rescue dogs get on like a house on fire.
