Galloping Malice - A Slipping Saddle Mystery

by Dovie Ruth (Author) From the author (as posted on Kindle Vella). Vanessa should have known Nigel MacRitchie would figure out a way to dodge her horseback riding lesson with him. Again. After all, she wasn’t rich. And she didn’t own a big fancy show hunter that campaigned most weekends at horse shows and won blue ribbons. Nope, Miss Vanessa Zunino was a 25-year-old teacher from the next dusty…

Szingapúr 3-4. nap

Január 17-én szerencsénk volt az idővel. Mikor megérkeztünk metróval a Gardens by the Bay területére akkor kezdett ugyan esni, de esernyővel szerencsére tudtunk sétálni. Először a Marina Barragenél kezdtünk - kedvelt kirándulóhely, ahonnan nemcsak a városra, de az óriási teherszállító hajókra is csodás kilátás nyílik. Innen a parti sétányon haladva megpilantottunk úszó varánuszt a vízben, majd bekukucskálva a Far East Organization Children’s Garden vízi játszótérbe a bokor alól is felpislantott egy ránk, csoda, hogy nem sikítottam fel. Ezután képzeljétek több vidra is elfutott mellettünk! A Cloud Forest nevezetű füvészkert ugyan nem volt a listánkon, de úgy voltunk vele egyszer vagyunk ott, így gyorsan vettünk online jegyet (nem a honlapon a legolcsóbb) és egy jó órát eltöltöttünk ott, csodálatos volt! Tele volt különböző színű orchideákkal és nagyon dzsungeles növényekkel :D. Még beltéri vízesés is volt! Innen tovább gyalogoltunk a híres függőleges kerthez - Supertree Grove. Kombójegyet vettünk a Cloud Forest előtt, ami jó volt az itteni OCBC Skywayre - lifttel mentünk fel a "fák" tetejére és a köztük lévő hídon sétáltunk körbe. Innen szintén jó kilátásunk volt, mind a Gardens by the Bayre, mind Marina Bay Sandsre. Itt már gyűltek a felhők, majd elkezdett esni az eső, így várakoztunk a liftre és lementünk. Tovább sétálgattunk a kert területén, láttunk színes kakast, szökőkutat. Ismét a Lau Pa Satba mentünk, de ezúttal itt ebédeltünk, jó nagy adag ételt kaptunk, szingapúri árakhoz képest megfizethető áron. Este Viktorékkal videótelóztunk végre.

Január 18-án mentünk a legtöbbet Szingapúrban. Először a Windsor Nemzeti Park - MacRitchie Reservoir Parkjában csináltunk egy cca 10 km-es túrát, a híres TreeTop Walkon (függőhidak) is átkelve. Ugyan többször eleredt az eső szerencsésen tudtuk teljesíteni. Láttunk futkározó, egyik fáról másikra ugró mókusokat, közelről békát, aminek szirénahangja volt...teljes volt az esőerdő élmény! Innen egy busszal elérhető plazaban megebédeltünk és erőt gyűjtöttünk a folytatáshoz. Ekkor már elállt az eső és a meleg pára volt a társunk. A Botanikus kert volt a következő állomásunk, itt is sétáltunk pihenőkkel jó sokat. Itt is volt színes kakas, szökőkutak, vízesések. Majd pedig a híres-neves Marina Bay Sands következett - az óriás plazaban sétálgattunk, ahol beltéri folyó és hajókázási lehetőség is van - igen, a plazan belül. Megvacsoráztunk, majd másodpercre pontosan kiértünk az előtte lévő Spectra nevű világító szökőkútshowra - hát ez grandiózusabb volt, mint a legutóbb általunk látott hasonló maláj show. Amikor vége lett összefutottunk egy magyar férfival, tippeket adtunk egymásnak, megbeszéltük lehet másnap töltünk egy kis időt Sentosán (végül ez nem jött össze), Geri gyorsan felhívta a szüleit innen, majd fáradtan, de élményekkel tele megindultunk a buszhoz, út közben még láttuk a kivilágított Art Science Múzeumot, a kivilágított Helix hídon át is sétáltunk. A buszra várakozva egy magyar párral találkoztunk - fél órán belül, így 3 magyarral összesen :D.

The controversial comments made by Prince William in Singapore, as discussed in our latest podcast episode

[backtonormallife]

I'll stand my ground with this. William is coming across as an arrogant person. He is discounting all the hard work that his father and grandfather did. I'm not going to go after the less patronages part - they don't have the family members for it - unless.

The BRF is at an inflection point. What do they stand for? I'm all for modernization, but the Firm needs to be thinking about adding Beatrice, Eugenie, Louise and James as working royals.

i cannot believe i agreed to go on a hike with my colleagues. they didn't even have to hard sell me the idea?? i just said ok.

and that was how i, who had (impressively) zero stats in endurance and athleticism, signed myself up for an extreme touch-grass session at macritchie.

and as expected, i was dyiNG. mostly from the heat. bUT tbh i feel like i may actually be quite alright if i had a large cup of emotional support bbt to sip on during the hike. after we returned to civilisation, all i wanted was an ice-cold drink. spoilers: i got my bbt. ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )

i didn't want to leave empty-handed, so i brought my camera along in hopes of getting some cool shots at least.

proof that i was there ↓↓↓

not my colleague asking me why i was dressed like i was going to shop at orchard. hey so first of all, i'm a major mosquito magnet. this fit is for protection. second of all, f the sun.
