Diving's done for now. Back to KL.
22/3 - Alas no diving today, but up sharp and down for breakfast. Chuan is down too, then Richard, the usual suspects. Did a repack and ready to go, but there are still 4 hours to go, so did a bit of reading, a bit of chatting, a bit of dossing and it's time to go. Sad, but what lies ahead??? The first hiccup, only one bag turns up at Semporna on our boat, but the other arrives on the next boat with the Singapore group, a lucky break. A nod on the bus and we're at the airport. The flight is announced along with its 4 hour delay, not such a lucky break, although in the spare time I learned to play Chinese poker, not very well, but I learned. The delay is not too bad for me, as I am going to hang around in the airport until my Hanoi flight at 6.30, so at least I have some company for longer than expected. We will arrive about 1.00 a.m. so it's not so clever for the rest. We got on eventually, after a lot of the group have been off buying T-shirts. Everyone is looking tired now. I slept most of the way. I don't know if the others did, but I suspect so, especially as they seem to be sleepwalking off the plane. I managed to catch everyone except David at the exit. I am not good with goodbyes, but glad I caught them. I have had a great time and they are a really friendly bunch. Now I have even more friends in Malaysia.
And that was the Sipadan chapter. Don't blink, or you will miss the Hanoi chapter.

Dear Grandpa Gil,
Hope you are all well in Cambodia now. Diving in Sipadan is nice, but what makes it splendid is the company of friends. Keep in touch and do letus know the next time you are stopping by in KL.
Hope to see you soon and take care.
Love,
Yvonne
