1988. Spent two nights at
the "Indra Regent" on the way home from Brisbane. Stopped
at Melbourne and had to change planes at Singapore so didn't get to
the Hotel until about 2AM the first night. Our guide (who met us at
the Airport) offered us a choice of trips for the following day, most
of which started at 6.30 or 8.30, no chance of us waking up by then.
We settled for an afternoon trip to the Grand Palace and Temples (this
was the main thing we wanted to see anyway). So ornate as to be breathtaking
although we'd always thought that they were hundreds of years old and
not "only" two hundred. Had a good wander around the markets
(all those fake Rolex) and had a great time, not long enough of course.
Edna took some photos but (again, twice on this holiday) had put the
film in the wrong way so no pictures. |
