The Albatross
Sunday 26 May 2024
Today was the last big drive in the Bezza, heading south along the East Coast to Bandar Penawar. I’ve actually grown quite fond of the little thing, and it’s done the job a treat. We still have it for a few more days, however, everything is short drives or puttering around town. Today’s journey was four and a half hours, which is more than enough in any stint.
For our last few nights we’ve booked a resort, this may be a mistake as all I can hear from out room is squealing children. I hope they go away. We’re only two hours away from downtown Singapore, so I get the feeling that people come over for a weekend treat, then sod off late Sunday afternoon. Well, that’s what I’m hoping. It’s now 5:30pm and they are still here.
Not much else to say, we came straight down, arriving at around 1:30pm. Beat off all the concierges who were hell bent on stripping all the possessions out of our car the second we arrived, and checked in. A light late lunch whilst we waited for our room to be ready and a mild heart attack at the prices (we eventually reminded ourselves that it is a resort, and it’s no worse than dining out in Australia) after becoming used to normal Malay prices.
