I was down with the flu and Alvin was the only guide left. Then Alvin slipped and fell at Changi jetty, and I could barely believe it when he called me to tell me he was bailing out of the rise - a barnacle had sliced his flesh. He got himself stitched up at Changi Hospital. Two route (not nature) guides left struggled to cope with the tour. One of the few participants on that trip was Ria (pre-WildSingapore days) who took pity on the two and took over the guiding. Meanwhile, Alvin still bears a reminder of that fall in Changi Jetty - well after they demolish it, he'll remmber the barnacle encrusted stairs!
