Goede Vrijdag / Good Friday
Dus gingen we nadat we een vrouw zagen neerstorten in haar Parasail (echt waar) maar naar Kota Tinggi om naar de watervallen te kijken.
Daar gekomen bleek dat je er ook kon zwemmen en dat er zelfs een paar glijbanen waren aangelegd. De kids hadden het prima naar de zin. 's Avonds duurde het wel een uurtje om de grens over te komen want de Singaporeanen zijn als de dood dat je kauwgom mee neemt (echt waar).
Good Friday was a public holiday in Singapore and as good Singaporeans you flee the city and go to Malaysia whenever there is a long weekend or a public holiday. Together with Chris and Caroline we went to the beach in Malaysia. This sounded better than it was as often is the case in Malaysia. The beach has potential, and the sea is beautiful and somebody saw this at one point and put a couple of resorts there but then it stopped. No maintenance, no passion and everything just collapsed. From the 6 resorts 2 are still open and they are filled by Singaporeans paying Singapore prices for Malay quality.
We decided to leave after we saw a woman crash into a tree on her para sailing trip (the parachute landed in the tree and then the boat pulled her out and it didn't look good)
So we went to Kota Tinggi to see the waterfalls. You can swim there and they had even built a couple of water slides. The kids loved it.
On our way back it took us an hour plus to cross the Singapore border (not the Malay border) as the Singaporeans are so afraid you bring in chewing gum, copied DVD's and cigaretttes. As if we Dutchies would do that. ;-)
