After Niah caves the weather sort of gave up. Faced with a few days of rain we made the best of a Mr Purser Christmas gift, with two night in a fancy hotel. We fine tuned our buffet skills and dipped in the pool. After a few days we headed on by boat to Brunei. Unfortunately our people did not inform the Sultan's people that we were on our way. He wasn't home. We changed boat and visited Lebaun a small island ( Sabah) where the Japanese finally surrendered. We charged back to Kota Kinabulu and managed to squeeze in two more scuba dives on the beautiful Palau Gaya before flying back to KL.
Christmas was all in the streets and every time we went into a coffee shop the staff would root out and put on some Christmas jingles just for us!! KL was a blaze of light and we were very cosy in Max & Joanie's apartment again. They had left us some tasty Christmas treats to ease the jingle. So, time to think of the ending year and of folk back home and search the Internet for cocktail recipes or who from the family is on line for a chat. And think what the new year will bring.
On Christmas morning we went for a fine swim in the pool before heading into town to the Westin Hotel. Courtesy of M & J we joined a large lunch do in a lovely hotel. Christmas Buffet with lashings of bubbles! Every bit of fine food you could think of and about 12 different salads, The barbeque had a whole lamb turning on a spit above it! We were even lucky enough to meet Father Christmas and some of his helpers. It was lovely to chat to family at home on line and lounge about digesting. The building site next door was still building away and KL was still in full swing. But in our little corner it was Christmas, with tree and cake and pudding and mince pies...........
