Wednesday

I was the second person at breakfast this morning with many not getting there at all and others turning up now and then. After that I wrote up a couple of articles for the magazine, which has its next deadline soon.

By the time I'd finished that I need to go and pack. One thing about not doing any washing while you are away is that the clean clothes get less and less and the washing bag can just be squeezed in without needing worry about creases.



The plan was to have an early lunch at 11-30, have taxis ready at 12-10 for the short trip to the ferry terminal in timer for the 12-30 departure. While we were a bit tardy the taxis were late anyway and it looked like we would have to wait an houir for the next one. Since one of our crowd had an early flight that could have been a rush for him. The taxis arrived just before 12-30 and we somehow managed to get our luggage in, get there and still catch the ferry.

The long bus ride was again spent mostly in conversation although many of has had a nap for part of the time, There was allegedly some loud snoring by someone who shall remain nameless.

Once back at the hotel the goodbyes began. Jonas left straight away and the Koreans about 6. the rest of us plus a few who had stayed in KL met up and had dinner in the food court nearby. I treated myself to a banana split for desert. I guess that will be the last banana for a while at the price they are back home.

After that Fatou left to stay with friends and the ne Malaysians headed home. That left just 3 of us and we picked up a drink and nibbles and had a small farewell party in Mathias's room. He at least I will see in Sofia.




Eventually Christie and I left, me for my room a few floors lower and she for another hotel. My room this this has a view of the KL tower.




My flight is at 9-40 tomorrow so it will be an early start to get to the airport.
