We spent 3 days in Johor Bahru, and basically turned each of the 6 largest Shopping malls inside out. The main purpose as you saw from the last post was to get ready for the formal aspects of the cruise.
We were all successful except Steph, Although I feel the opportunities for success in Singapore will be numerous! The cost of the clothes came to £250 all in, so not bad at all! And a good way to spend the under spend on the budget. Yep we managed to come in under budget, although I will admit to massaging the numbers somewhat with the unaccounted gains from interest on savings, a tax rebate, and the decision not to stay at the most expensive hotel in Singapore for the sake of a swimming pool on the roof! Oh yeah we learnt our lesson from Koh Lanta, cancelled the Marina Bay Sands, and got into a nice serviced apartment, at a fraction of the cost.
Onwards to Singapore, our final land based journey
