 |
| Danga Bay Where the seafood restaurant is they have a few little rides. Samantha's first time on the carousel. She loved it. |
 |
| We decided to do the Ferris wheel with AhMa and AhKong. We had just gotten on and were half way to the top when it began to bucket rain. The man got us down as fast as he could and we sheltered with other families under the edge of the ticket booth. Here is Samantha all wet on the tea cups. Being the tropics we were wet but warm which is a strange sensation. |
 |
| Samantha who 9 months ago refused to go in a bouncy castle with her friend because of the noise now went all by her self on a fast noisy spiny ride. She wanted to go again but after the rain only the tea cups and carousel were running. |
We had so much fun at the little Danga Bay it was the highlight of Johor Baru.
More pictures next time.
Tell Samantha I understand her desire for a western toilet. :) Never was brave enough to try the squat kind!
