I woke up with a raging cold. Can't believe it!! Have travelled around the world and to date only had nausea in Turkey and the squirts at times. Disappointing time to be sick and will feel really bad if Nic gets it as well.
Anyway, was determined to get out a bit today, so Nic and I went to E&O for breakfast (really didn't feel like dim sum for breakfast!), which was really lovely. We then went over to Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion for a tour. It was built in the 1880s, and commissioned by Cheong Fatt Tze who was a Hakka merchant-trader from China who established a vast financial empire through east Asia. The mansion was rescued from ruin in the 1990s, and blends Eastern and Western design. Our guide also provided a lot of insight into Chinese culture which was fascinating.
We were so lucky this morning that the weather was clear. We have had consistent rain and gray skies pretty much every day since we arrived in Malaysia. Because we had sunshine today, we returned to the hotel via the chemist (to get me more drugs), then lay in the sun beside the swimming pool. We only got about 1 hour in the sun before the clouds rolled in and the heavens opened. It was lovely enjoying it from under cover beside the pool - the extremes of weather here are incredible.
As the weather didn't improve, Nic and I hung out in the room watching movies. I really couldn't do much else. I have this photo as evidence!!
I ordered room service for dinner whilst Nic when out checking the local shops. Who would've thought that one nose could produce so much snot!!
