In my opinion night safari can be done on Monday after the included excursion. I am presuming the 2 optional excursions will be on a Tuesday. We then have at least half a day if not more on Wednesday before our flight when we can do the river safari of the Jurong Bird Park. I know we can pay for the optional excursions before we fly out so it will be nice to know who will be doing these. I know Bob is planning to do both of them.

When we did the nature trek in Kerala the local guide had salt supply with him and I hope the local guide in Borneo will have it too. I have not tried to source any salt packets.

I agree with you all the way, I too plan on doing both optionals takes the strain out of the day running round in the humid heat, we could do the night safari after the included excursion on the Monday, perhaps if we're lucky the driver could drop us off near there or at a suitable place to catch local transport or even as we may need top

refresh we'll be back early enough to take an hour or so before we go again, the two optionals will probably be on the same day and then as you suggest the river safari or anything else on the last day as surely we won't be going the airport till at least tea time

I have plenty of salt sachets if anyone needs any

not long now Jaya i'm very excited as i'm sure you are

looking forward to seeing you very soon now

all the best

I think I too will book both excursions - was definitely going to book the Gardens by the Bay but was not too sure about the evening one. Will be nice to do it together and like Dave says saves us running around in the humid heat. I am hoping for a miracle despite quite a few people telling me that it is going to be very hot and humid. I am hoping it will cool down a bit - miracles do happen!

The excitement is getting too much and I am glad that I am very busy at work otherwise my mind would be wandering all over the place. Went and did some holiday shopping early this morning and I think I now have got all I need. Will bring some travel sickness pills as well since we are spending quite a lot of time on water. I have not needed them for years, but learnt my lesson in Kerala when we were driving up to the hillside and the road was so winding that I felt sick. So from now on I will always be well prepared!

See you all on 19 May.

under two weeks now

see you on the 18th/19th
