Up bright and early this morning for breakfast. Ruth and Mel left early hours of this morning, and I know they didn't miss their flight as they checked in on FB at KL Airport. A few stragglers were left but I decided to have some me time, something I realised I hadn't really had in over a month.
I chilled by the pool for a bit, re packed my bags, condensed used bottles of liquids into smaller ones etc.... As you will know this clean perked me up no end.
At around 2pm I went to try and upload the blog photos with no success, I waited anyway for Kristie as we needed to do our visa run. Eventually Bron turned up with the truck after a few delayed flights from the airport run. We set off for the embassey. It was nice to be out and about and as usual me and Kristie spent the journey chatting away, generally be crude and giggling like small children.
However, the laughter was short lived when we arrived at the embassey. Firstly she had failed to mention that singlets (strappy tops) were forbidden so were the short shorts I wore. Even so we entered to funny looks and then the security guy telling us afternoons were collection only. We turned round and went back to Basaga to return tomorrow. To cheer ourselves up and not waste a journey we headed to a shopping mall called 'The Springs' this place was posh! Like a western mall. We headed to the supermarket for some snacks for our upcoming journey.
Upon our return I showered and changed and then went down to the welcome dinner. All the new arrivals looked tired and frightened, properly how I looked last year on my first time. The group for Ketapang is much smaller with 6 of us and another two who are already there having decided to stay another month. Three other English ladies, including one returner, an Ozzy and a Canadian man.
