Beez to 6th of January
2019
 Thursday 3rd. The very nice reception
man at Tune felt sorry for our three am check-in “would you like late check out
???” Ooo lovely. Our room was ours until twelve, we had a late breakfast,
showered and bimbled over to the airport. I reckon this is the last Christmas picture I will take of Bear until we reach South
Africa in December. Wow, now there’s a thought. For now, we do the security
stuff and settle at our gate.
 A bit late we take our
seats for the flight to Langkawi. A pretty girl
beside us gets backed out.
 Leaving Kuala Lumpur for the very last time,
ever.
   Very misty as we fly over the islands of Langkawi.
Landing an hour later than expected but quickly through formalities
and in the taxi to the ferry dock. That bit was a giggle, we always pay five
pounds for the fifteen minute journey, so many cabbies hustled us as we headed
through the mêlée. “Taxi ???” How much. “Twenty five pounds” don’t be silly
we’re locals, until we met a nice one who without negotiating asked for the
fiver (well twenty-four Wingnuts (Ringgits) to be precise). He didn’t spare the
horses and we made the three forty-five ferry. By the time we set foot on Beez
at gone four o’clock, Mr Sun was tired and in hiding, oh fine rain so no going
to the pool then. We had a cup of tea, unpacked, pottered about, had a game of
backgammon, settled to a couple of episodes of NCIS New Orleans after we rustled
some supper together.
  Friday
the 4th. The morning seemed to fly by, catching up with
admin, tidying several piles of stuff from Hong Kong and putting things in order
on Beez. After lunch of the cheese rolls we brought back with us we
went to the pool. No sun but lovely and
warm.
 Saturday the 5th. We
took the nine-thirty ferry over and found Mr Din, who as always handed over the
keys to one of his dodgy cars. Amongst the busy list of shops, I nipped into a
printers and ordered headed shopping list pads for
Sleeping Indian, ready in two weeks, the lady couldn’t recommend where to get
pens personalised so research to be done on that one. Next we went to a huge
shop that had a huge display of crockery and pans, same as the shop opposite,
all Duty-Free, Yippee. It’s going to be such fun collecting bits and bobs for
our Caribbean home in the sun.
  The major reason for
coming shopping today was to pick up a huge box
containing the new autopilot (the shop was closed
yesterday). Three feet of box, three crates of shopping, so pleased we actually
brought the trolley with us. I needed a little filling in a front tooth and no
sooner than I walked in to Mrs Chew than I came out with an appointment on the
morrow at noon.
 Quite the beast once
unwrapped, such a surprise to
see the unit carefully bolted to plywood for safe
delivery.
Sunday the 6th. A lazy morning, in
and out of Mrs Chew in a flash with a filling and after handing over thirteen
pounds we went to buy salad bits. Back in time for a quick dip.
ALL IN ALL
NOTHING LIKE YOUR OWN BED
GREAT TO BE BACK
