Putrajaya revisited


Today we are back in Putrajaya with a sense of déjà vu because we are going to Presint 18 parkrun again.

This time we set off in the dark and we walked with our umbrellas to the start past this incredible mosque.

Arriving a few minutes early we had time to chat to other tourists and get our photo taken.

Right on cue the rain stopped, and then we were off. My running ability is going rapidly downhill on this trip and yet again I really struggled, but finished one place ahead of the last time that we were here. But that was only because the rain put a lot of people off and there was far fewer parkrunners to run with.

After a nice lie down back at the hotel I was ready to get out and about again, and we came across this excellent giant picture frame.

The view behind me is real, and fortunately Daz didn't record my efforts to scramble up on to the frame.

Just along the path was another source of joy on a hot sunny day - a shaded swing.

Ideally I wanted a shot of us both swinging, but we didn't see another person for the whole of our walk.

Another lovely afternoon tea kept us out of the heat of the afternoon.

Finally, an early evening stroll and back to our hotel just in time to avoid another massive thunderstorm.
