Day 1
After quite a stressful last few days when we were thrown into travel disarray by David who got scared by the number of dengue fever statistics from Sri Lanka We cancelled our trip there and tried to think of another place to go for 2 weeks. We decided on a little island called Tioman Island that is halfway between KL and Singapore where both of us had flights anyway.
Joel dropped us off at the airport at midday for a 2.30pm flight but we squeezed in a coffee on the way at Fox with Beth and Joel. Jim thought it would be our last good coffee but it appears Singapore has heaps of specialty coffee places so we are set for a good itinerary over the next 3 days in Singapore while we wait for the Nikles to arrive. maybe there are other points of interest too that we will check out. We have booked into the Madras hotel in the little India area of Singapore.
Julie got detained at customs, but eventually gave Bruce Mathison a hug after they had a chat.
