We met up with some folk we had met on the ship, Judy and Pascale, who live in Oregon, and wandered down to the beach, where we felt a little sorry that we had not come prepared for a swim. The beach was delightful and the water temperature is 75 degrees F, you can do the maths to convert to Celsius.
We had been hearing about the wonderful shaved ice confection here, so we all tried one. They certainly are very nice! Especially with ice cream underneath the ice. We were told by some friends we met on the boat, that these shaved ice concoctions have been popular in Singapore for many years.
Out trip around part of the island was great, it's very picturesque, and the mountain here has the highest rainfall in the world, some thing in the order of almost 500 inches per annum.
Here is is, covered in cloud, apparently you can rarely see the top of it.
Another wonderful show in the theatre tonight, a comedy routine, and dinner afterwards with some new friends, Tom and Betty from Mooroochidore. When our companions went to bed, we went off to see another show, the crew talent quest.
We had a little trouble finding our animal tonight, he was swinging from the ceiling.
