The Albatross

Thursday 30 May 2024

Homeward bound. I did my usual travel thing of sleeping like crap because I have an early morning flight. We did have a brilliant Japanese dinner last night, which was fresh, clean and absolutely delicious. It had the added advantage of being in the shopping mall under our hotel, meaning I never had to walk through anything worse than mediocre air-conditioning.

The last few days in the resort were interesting, and made me understand why I really don’t like them. They are weird illusions of society populated by arseholes. The staff greet you friendly, but constantly apologise when you ask for anything as if they are mystically are meant to know that I’d like stuffed gopher entrails. Do people beat these lovely folk?

I’m guessing yes, the place was full of over privileged Singaporeans. It’s Singapore’s school holidays, it’s only two hours away and the exchange rate is exceedingly generous. By god, these people are shite. They are so over entitled, they would stampede a bunch of crippled puppies and kittens if it got between them and the breakfast buffet, and they treat the staff like shit, the children are the product of the parents.

Anyway, rant over.

We came home, the kids had done a good job of looking after the love dumpster. A lamb roast was made and super comfy bed was slept in without aircon on. Perff (as the airline pilot called it), really does have the most beautiful air.

Ode to the mighty Bezza

Tuna

Wednesday 29 May 2024

We left our resort today and headed to Johor Bahru to return the car and head to Singapore. We were quite happy our time at the resort was coming to an end, as we were getting tired of being around over-privileged Malaysian and Singaporean adults and children. The adults have no sense of personal space or politeness and go barging in to get what the want. The children are loud and go barging in to get what they want. The parents don’t seem to think there is anything wrong with that. I need to say that there were some nice and polite adults and children who understand and practice basic respect and politeness, however they are very much in the minority. We had reached our limit so were happy to leave the resort.

It was our last day with the mighty Bezza. The bright blue rocket has blasted us around Malaysia in beautiful air-conditioned comfort. Although rather sluggish going up a hill of any sort and you need a good run up if overtaking, the rest of the time it was great. The boot was very spacious (not quite on the same scale as the Pilot brick) and easily fit all our bags.

Our car rental dude was driving us across the border into Singapore and that went smoothly and quite quickly as there wasn’t too much of a queue. We got delivered to our hotel and were lucky that our room was ready and we could check in at 1pm. I’ve now pulled everything out of all the bags and repacked everything into our two bags rather than spread over the two bags, two soft sided eskys and a shopping bag for daily car needed stuff (water, camera and tablet for directions).
