Just Say Yes

I can't speak for Heather, but for me it's amazing how many times on this trip I have to keep that mantra screaming in my head as I attempt something that could be described as "foolish." Case in point ......

Attack of the Killer Massage Fish

* warning - this post may not be appropriate for readers with feet issues*

In wandering the streets of Siem Reap we again encountered the local "massage fish" that we first glimpsed in Chiang Mai. After a couple of days of avoiding them, we cautiously started to get interested. We would chat up the people who were having a massage and we started to take a closer look at just how big the fish in the tank really were.

For our last night in Cambodia we decided to finally take the plunge. We negotiated a good rate ($1/person, down from the opening $3/person) for 15 minutes of fishy fun. Now all that was left was to actually dip our toes in.

Heather was the first to go while Chloe cautiously (as is her nature) assessed the situation)



Once she dove her toes in, Chloe was able to withstand the massive tickling sensation



Then it was my turn to get my feet wet. Hopefully from this clip you can tell the difference between my feet and Chloe's.



Now it was time to step up and visit the big fish tank. In my defence the fish were very large

Here's some video that we have taken along the way that until now has been trapped on my iphone:

1) Pentland Farm in Western Australia offered a great chance to get close and feed the local creatures





2) The view from the Sydney Harbour Bridge was spectacular. And yes, we walked the whole thing



3) Chloe had her Australian horse-riding lesson just outside Perth. What you can't really see in this clip is the horde of black flies that were residing on her helmet



4) The Pinnacles really did seem like something from Star Wars/Trek



5) New Year's Eve fireworks - Bali style...
