Well we quietly slid into Singapore, and when I sat down for a quiet G & T at Raffles, lo, and behold, I found myself in the presence of the beautiful daughter of some Eastern European royalty, or so she said: a most delicate and refined young lady, who, as it turned out has a capacity for G & T to match my own. We did repair to her suite where she insisted on showing me not only her etchings, but also her collection of stamps (all unperforated).
I am now back aboard in a state of euphoria, completely sated and going to take a long nap before we prepare to sail for Phuket tomorrow.
