Wends and I had a great time lurking around Kuta in Bali over the last week or so. We had planned to venture back down to the Bukit Peninsula, to Dreamland and the like, but never really mustered up the energy. Between my bouts of piss poor attempts at surfing and Wendy's determination to meet every guy in The Bounty we were in a perpetual haze of hungover exhaustion. We did manage to curb Wendy's natural compulsion to buy every dress on sight (note I said "curb" not "stop")... though I think this was more to do with babalaas than anything I ever said.
The lovely duo of Olivia and Danny (met in Bali and rejoined in the Gili's) provided plenty of back-up, meaning I could retreat out of the nightclubs a little before the sunrise they were all determined to see and still leave the little sister in good hands - thanks girls! It was also really good to meet up with Funky, James and Claire again, its amazing how the same great faces keep popping up in so many different places. Note the rhyming in that last sentence... Wends and I have just been sipping Singapore Slings at the Raffles Hotel here in Singapore and I'm feeling duly creative.
Wends takes in a famous Singapore Sling at its home, the Raffles Hotel. Asked if she wanted another one she replied: "I'd rather buy a house..."
One of the lovely colonial style streets lined with flash cars and backed by skyrise buildings. Typical Singapore. We landed here in Singapore yesterday afternoon and have so kindly been offered the opportunity to freeload with Caitlin, a fellow Maritzburgian. We joined her for dinner at one of the famous hawker centres last night which was great. Today Wends and I have just been doing some of the more well-known walking routes around the city including Chinatown and the Colonial waterfront. Tonight we'll explore Little India as I only fly out at 2am. Tomorrow Wends flies to Bangkok to start her own little solo adventure.
Its been a truly wonderful and incredibly memorable year. The places I've seen have been tremendous, nearly matching the fantastic people I've met. I not even going to try to write a worthy conclusion, but it'll suffice to say... "Its been real!"
