KRANJI
I couldn't beleive the humidity!!...I could hardly breathe!!...I had never in my life experienced such high humidity..Coming from a country with all extremes of weather this was something new for me. That time of the morning the air was so heavy and it was a difficult exercise to walk up the steep hill and gasp for fresh air..I was really so lucky that I had plenty of fresh water with me.
As I had come to watch the Anzac Day Rememberance Ceremony it was a dawn service at 5.30 am and the air was just so heavy..Carry and drink plenty of water to replace the lost fluid that you will experience...In no time at all your clothes will be wringing wet from body perspiration.Drink plenty of water to replace it..The temperatures here in the tropics are sometimes extreme and dehydration can happen quickly..
