Thanks @shai-hulud! You're right, even in the rain these mountains are amazing, and if you don't have them nearby, a good excuse to travel :)

we are big fans of travel generally to Thailand or Malaysia but its not on the cards for a bit as we just adopted.

so im just going to have to live vicariously through posts like this for a bit

Of course! That's so wonderful. You'll be having a lot of excitement and precious moments for quite some time, and later on you'll be able to share your travel adventures with the wee one :)
