Caught the train from KL to Singapore last thursday, six hours, but only £10, and that was for first class. Since Chrissy & Mark had invited me for dinner that night, it meant catching the early train, so no lie in that day.
Singapore was slightly cooler than KL, but just as rainy, but I managed to dodge most of the showers so didn't get too wet.
For those of you reading this who are not of Gosport descent, Chrissy is a family friend who has moved out to singapore with her husband Mark, and son Freddy.
Spent Friday and Saturday exploring Singapore, meeting up with Chrissy & Mark for lunch on Saturday, before flying out to Bali on Saturday evening, arriving here just after midnight. As expected there is a kitesurfing school right by the hotel, but Sunday they were having a big competition, so no lessons, so I spent the time taking photos and reading the Deathly Hallows (no I'm not going to give away the ending).
Today was the start of the Kitesurfing lesson, more body dragging before attempting to get up on the board, so far fairly unsuccessfully. An american called Eric is at about the same level as me, so at least I wasn't alone in my failure. Decided to spend the afternoon showing Eric how to sail, so took out a Hobie, which would have gone better had the rudders staid down. And so far it hasn't rained in Bali (touch wood) which makes a nice change.
