Experienced Guide's Confusion

Have been doing some day tours and transfers for the same tour operator the last one week. The problem is that it's a mixture of 2 big conference groups (one certain group has 900 pax) plus a cruise ship. The weather for the last one week had also been very, very hot and humid. I have been to the Monsopiad (HEAD HUNTER !!!) Cultural village, of course, we get to see the 300 years old skulls at the skull house. I also took the guests to the Wildlife park where they saw the highly endangered sumatran rhinoceros, orang utans and of course the proboscis monkeys and many others wildlife. However, we need to walk under the hot sun for 1 1/2 hours. Guess what, I was at the Wildlife Park for 2 consecutive days!

Yesterday, I guess the tour operator sympathized me and assigned me to do a city tour for the crusie ship. However, at the State museum, I still need to escort the guests to the Heritage village to visit the replicas of our traditional houses and was it HOT............? Mind you, no air conditioning of course. So......, after a short 30 minutes stop at the Handicraft market (very hot inside too and both me and John, another guide, down a big coconut each), it was a totally refreshing stop for us at the Atmosphere revolving restaurant for tea break with the tourists.

I woke up this morning at 9am thinking I could sleep in today when it suddenly dawned on me that I have yet an airport transfer to do at 9:30am! This is the very first time that I actually became confused with my itinerary! However, I was ready in 15 minutes and once again, felt relieved that Magellan Sutera Resort is only 6 minutes drive from my apartment when no traffic jams, of course!

Finally, I'm back home now and writing this blog at 1:30pm, Malaysian time. Well, I am taking a good rest untill tommorow.

I'll be with a group of 22 Taiwanese from 04th-08th April and we are going to Survivor Island on the 5th for overnight tour. Will tell you more then.

Wondering what are those tourist attractions I have mentioned? Monsopiad Cultural Village, Wildlife Park, State Museum, Handicraft Centre and Survivor Island?

Follow closely my postings in this blog and you will defintely find out more!
