Wednesday 11th October

Abi and Chris try to find pharmacy to buy Ventolin – no one sells it
without a prescription. Luckily it rains and there is a little breeze
to relieve the haze and humidity. Abi ate rice then rice noodle at
Kopitiam before walking around Bencoolen St and then Sunshine Plaza
surrounds. Kept on falling over – 3 times. Getting tired and cranky,
finally asleep on the walk back to Carlton hotel.

Quick dinner at the Kopitiam where we rushed it due to the Night Safari
tour pickup time at 6pm.

Waited till 6:30pm for the bus, this was a royal pain since they seemed
to have a lot of traffic. Once on the bus, we drove to the tour
companies HQ where people got on/off for their various tours and waited…
and waited… and waited.

Finally we left around 7pm, and got to the Safari around 7:30pm. Guide
pretty chatty but a bit inane. Tried to show us Malaysia, but due to the
haze, couldn't see a thing.

Night safari started with a tram ride, which took us through the various
fauna eg: lion, etc etc Abi whispered while other tourists proceeded to
tear through at full volume. The animals must be used to the loud
noise from the shows anyway. Abi made friends with a girl about 12
years old who was there with her grandparents.
