I caught the metro to Ling's station and then a bus to her place. She was at work but I was able to chat with her mum and repack the gear I had left behind. Her mum and I sat outside in the open residents' garden area watching the children at play to cool off as the sunset.
Ling finished work at the university early and we headed off to eat at her favourite seafood restaurant and managed to get finished before the rains started.
The next day Ling's mum and I took the metro into Orchard road and ate and she did some shopping at the Marks and Spencers' store and a Japanese supermarket. It rained so hard that we had to jump on the first bus that came to get out of the city. Orchard Road had flooded the previous week so she was a bit wary that it may happen again and we would be trapped.
We bus hopped a few times to get back to the bus routes that she knew and ended up doing a trip around the city and having a good laugh.
That night I headed for the airport to catch my 2am flight to CapeTown to catch up with John, Evan and his boys.
