Laurie & Kairen Wilson
Singapore
The tide was very low at Mersing so we had to transfer to a much smaller boat out at sea to enable us to get to the harbour. Kairen really enjoyed that!!!
|
 even when we got to the harbour we had to cross another boat to dry land. (with all our luggage). |
 Nautical adventures over, we drove for 3 hours with a kamikaze 'bus pilot', who was determined to make up time we had lost at sea. We crossed the border from Malaysia to Singapore and entered a very different country..... Our hotel was just a couple of minutes from the river and Clarke Quay which we had enjoyed on previous visits to Singapore.

 We arrived in daylight...and staggered home in the dark. |
