It seems compulsary, or at least inevitable, that we should be taken to visit a church in ex British protectorates and colonies so yesterday we were taken to St John's Anglican church. It was attractive in itself but for me the interesting point was that it stood right next door to a lovely red brick building with large windows and dark green shutters which one could imagine had been 'lifted' from Boston or Washington DC, and which turned out to have the ominous title of "The Court of Final Appeal"....
We also had the chance to visit a Tao temple but a small group of us, feeling 'templed' out spotted a cosy looking coffee house where we enjoyed the best coffee since leaving home. It was oviously the haunt of resident expatriot Americans and Europeans who regarded our intrusion on their peace with some hostility and suspicion....but who cared ? we revelled in the aroma and taste of true coffee. Only George who daily enjoys Ian's gifts of Indonesian rich coffee on board, was not euphoric!
Off to breakfast...better publish (sounds so grand doesn't it?!)
