Train from Singapore to Butterworth, Malaysia


7:00 am at the Singapore train station. Peg is seated in foreground beneath very nice murals. We found a local (read: for locals) coffee shop with assorted "local" goodies to carry on for eating. No real idea what anything was. But we eventually ate everything except one chicken wing. It may have been green because of the spices, but we weren't sure enough. The bag coffee was fun.


Approaching the train for bording. We have done a pretty good job of traveling light, I think. For old folks on a 3 month trip anyway.


But we're sure not getting the photography right yet. Even forgot to take the camera yesterday when we saw most of what we were going to see of Singapore. The Thai Embassy, Orchard Road, some great food court, and some lovely old colonial buildings. The bus system is excellent as is the subway. The city was exceptionally clean as well. Good on 'em for banning chewing gum!

Settling in to our seats. We changed right away as soon as we saw there were few passengers, to forward facing seats with better window views. Keith dislikes looking where he has been. It's like reading right to left instead of left to right. Oh well -- at least we had an option.
