Hogs and Orangutans.

Tonight, Dale took me for a quick(ish) jaunt around the Singapore island on his Harley. The really neat thing was, by the end of the trip my butt was really feeling like we had ridden to another country, and in fact we almost had! We were only a few Km from Malaysia once we had gone through downtown. Not many countries you can circumnavigate in an hour and a half! It was very exhilarating, and Singapore certainly is beautiful at night! (See below for a view coming into downtown across what I believe is Marina Promenade)




And in other news, Jon and I bought tickets today to go to Borneo over my Spring break - from September 18-25. Retun flight was $85.00 each! How could we resist? We are going to visit the Orangutan rehabilitation centre (one of them), a turtle rehabilitation centre, do some snorkeling, hopefully get to see the Corpse Flower (Raffleisa tuanmudae) and visit the proboscis monkeys in Bako National Park.

Much love from the most amazing place on earth!

  2. Finally caught up on your blogs. Wow, what a whirlwin and how fabulous it all sounds. Guess you'll just have to keep searching for that perfect beach (darn)! You will find it. Keep us posted so I can keep living vicariously through you.
