Our Final Full Day.

This is the view across the Golden Sands pools this wet and extremely humid Tuesday morning. It has been showery across the night and the pool area this morning is all but deserted.

By 11am yesterday any queasiness had disappeared so we tried our luck with Uber and made our way through the thick traffic into Georgetown. We were dropped in the middle of town and then set off to explore. Each corner we turned the memories from the past flooded back.

We passed the cane shop where we had bought chairs for the kids 40 years ago. To be truthful there wasn't much still as we remembered all that time ago. We wandered down Campbell Street, Chulia Street and others. Georgetown has changed a lot.


The traffic seemed so busy with one way streets now everywhere. The heat made the whole exercise quite demanding and after an hour or so we sought the respite available in a large shopping colex called Komtar.

We rested and enjoyed a cold water for a good 30 minutes before heading off again. We discovered a new shopping complex caleed 1st Avenue which was quite impressive.

With about 40 minutes before our free shuttle bus trip back to the resort Trish wanted to get back to a Gold Shop for a look at gold necklaces. I should have guessed what was coming next. For Trish, Christmas has come early.

So back to our resort room we went. A few cool drinks on the balcony before heading out to eat. Murtabak, roti canai and satay were our food of choice.  During the meal the heavens opened up and down came the rain.

It is just after 9am and light rain continues to fall. The photo left was taken mid morning.
