Dear Jenpen,
Thanks so much for your enjoyable JBRs. I was thrilled to read about the BBH, as we are going there next week, after recommendations from the Forum. Could I ask a few questions, please?
Are there any bars close enough for hubby to stroll to for a quiet beer?
You said there were some good restaurants close by. What were your favourites, and are any of them within walking distance?
I've heard the food is great at the BBH, but could you give me some idea of how much you paid for each meal?
If we bring our own Gin ( sorry, very important question!), are there any local stores for supplies of tonics, and bintang?
You said you thought the local children would appreciate presents of clothing. Sorry to be useless but what sort, and what size, or age range? Also, we're coming direct from London, and I was wondering if there is anywhere we could buy things locally,to save on our meagre luggage allowance? Ideally we need to be in the south to shop, but we are doing things the other way around!
Finally,(!) what did you with regards to tipping the staff? Are they also in need of clothes, etc, or do you think money would be preferred, and approx how much?
Sorry for so many questions - any info you could manage would be greatly appreciated.
