 Singapore

We have had six sea days since my last blog.  I think we have filled it in admirably.  It is just like living in a small community really, everyone goes about their business, I have likened life on board as perhaps like being under house arrest, instead of an ankle bracelet we have our cards around our neck.  We have both been doing a fair bit of reading etc.  I am attending the keeping fit classes one needs some type of structure, Sam would quite happily do absolutely nothing each day, but he is in fact going to the gym each day and walking round the deck, yesterday he did over 3 miles around the deck.  Have met lots of interesting people and the reason each person is doing this holiday and where they are going to from here are quite fascinating.  The diverse age group has totally surprised me, the age group ranging from mid 30s to probably late 80s and some children as well.

Today Friday we docked in Singapore and we have just finished our city tour, we went to the Orchid Gardens as well.  This afternoon I am going to iron a few of our things, having mastered the washing machine and dryer the other day,  not too bad considering, met some lovely ladies in the laundry as we are all in the same boat (so to speak).  We set off this afternoon at about 5.00 ish and arrive in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow.  We have a full day tour booked for tomorrow and then the next day to Lang Kawi, we do not have anything booked for there but I am sure we will find something to do, if there is a beach it would be good to sit on the beach and have a swim. 

 All the best to all Sabine and Sam  XXX

  1. Ironing?? Is there no escape from domesticity?
