After the golf game at Gary Player, it was close to 1700 hours. An hour away from AA's daily wine session. ME was still fast asleep and AA was clearly hoping that we would give the night safari a miss. Yes. Ms Social Butterfly would rather wine, dine and put on pretty dresses than go for Safari. So as usual, she tried to subtlely hint (using ME as a convenient excuse) that we should do dinner and give the safari a miss.
ME, not wanting to deprive anyone from the safari, agreed to join us for the safari despite feeling out of sorts. So, in a typical Singaporean fashion, we had to start thinking about dinner. Safari starts at 1900 hours and the restaurants are not open till 1800 hours. We ended up at News Cafe and poor ME could barely sit straight. The sight and smell of food aggravated her condition. She retired back to the room and the rest of us stayed on for the Safari.
1845 hours - We proceeded to the entertainment centre. But bad news. It was raining so heavily that it was unfeasible for game tracking. Safari aborted. It was still early and no one fancied casinos so it was bar-hunting. AA needed her nightly alcohol input. We finally managed to get seats at the outdoor bar. Speedy and TWG decided they wanted to go roam the casinos so it was just AA and myself at the bar. ME was already in zonk-land at that point.
I think I whacked down 8-10 glasses of Amarulas. Yikes!
AA and me chatted at the bar till past 2300 hours.
Another early early morning to come...
