Jolly Japes on the Jungle Train
... indulging in some local baccy when he got back. He was ranting on about riding the winner in the Grand National. Apparently to help you squat without falling in, and maintain a reasonable aim at the same time, they provide a horizontal rail for you to hold.

Getting out of Dodge ...
... it was time to pack my life back into my ginormous rucksack and stagger down the sand and onto the boat off the island.
We touched down on the mainland and managed to procure a taxi to Kota Bharu - the bustling metropolis (or closest thing to metropolis).
