Slinging Along in Singapore

Image
Forgot to mention how the bathroom in Kuching had a window between it and the bedroom...with a see-through shutter that didn't close more than what you can see in this picture.  Talk about togetherness....together for 24 hours a day and no privacy even in the toilet!    We landed in Singapore for our last two nights. I was a bit anxious because some reviews of this hotel that came out after I booked it were less than favorable. We took the MRT—rapid transit from the airport into Chinatown and then walked to our hotel. It actually was a fun adventure to do that, even though the bags loaded one on the other were heavy to pull. We had to change trains twice, but Matthew had it all figured out, so that wasn't difficult. At times it was crowded, but still we made it without incident and only got a little lost finding the hotel by missing the street and walking an extra 2 blocks. In the meantime, we were forced to walk through the shopping stalls that lined the streets

In a Town Called Cat!

Hmm, my computer decided to put the random photos at the beginning instead of the end, so read first, then come back to them (just kidding...).  Enjoy! Matthew and I are still in Kuching for our last night, heading for Singapore tomorrow for 2 nights.  I'm ready to come home and hoping our hotel isn't a repeat of Kota Bharu (booked both through agoda.com).  I'm tired from being overheated everytime we step outside, and it's making me cranky.  Plus, let's face it, it's not that easy to spend 24 hours a day everyday with someone for almost 3 weeks.  Well, it isn't easy for me.  I will probably hide in my bat cave when we get home for at least a week.  No, Mom, that didn't mean I wouldn't be coming over to see you as soon as I'm awake and ready on Thurs.   So to catch up, I'm going to add pictures and write captions under them.    Kuching is a lovely town in Borneo, which most people know from head-hunting days.
