Again we were happy with our hotel, the Mandalay Hill Resort Hotel http://www.mandalayhillresorthotel.com/  Very comfortable room, looking out over the pool and the gardens, with spa and mini temple.  Again met with cool drinks and damp towels, very welcome after a long day.

And again we didn’t feel like much dinner, and  tried out the Kipling bar, very comfortable, obviously designer done, to recall the ‘old’ Asia.  But they were advertising a young musical group, The Rock Journey Band, and I expected to be driven out by loud music, the bane of our life.  Who knows, said Harry, they could be Beatles wannabees.  And sure enough, they came out and started with ‘Imagine’ followed by ‘Leaving on a Jet Plane.’ They weren’t bad at all, once we got over the culture shock of sitting in Mandalay listening to golden oldies.
