Half a Lobster about 50gm to 70gm. a whole fish, cabbage, prawn. Not bad we paid only S$70/ each for the tour came with lunch and dinner. Fish was a little under-done, we finished our meals. The lunch was good, I enjoyed it.

Then we travelled to an ostrich farm. I took video, and still photos, saw a chick just new born. There was a shop behind the farm selling ostrich satay. Ostrich ommelet. Loved the ostrich farm.

We were on the way to Darasu Fruits farm. I wanted to see the dragon fruit trees, just to confirm, many people said our dragon fruit tree Is not dragon fruit tree, they were right, it was not. I found three pieces of leaves, took it and I have my own dragon fruit tree now. I saw bread fruit trees, we had in Northlakes. Passionfruit creepers,Jackfruits, and other trees, my interest was the dragonfruit trees. There were rabbits, monkeys, goats, and snakes. We left before the heavy rain.

There were an hour and half before lunch. They took us to a shopping center. There was nothing to interest the four sisters, went to Old Town coffee Shop. I had cappuccino,was Rm4.50. The bus came took us to a place for dinner, a potato and carrot with chicken leg soup, deep fried whole chicken chopped into pieces, cabbage again, boiled prawn, a whole stream seabrass, The dinner was good,The restaurant was located a walking distance, just beside a river, the place we took a boat to see fireflies.

After dinner we walked to the riverside, took a life jacket and waited to broad the boat. We broad the boat and travelled until darkness came. Wows, before complete darkness we saw a few fireflies, then came darkness, merry Christmas, the fireflies light the mangrove trees along the river bank. It was simply beautiful. I loved it. I loved to watch nature.

The tour came to the end, we travelled back home. Collected the otar we ordered earlier.
