GOODBYE, JUMBO!

Jumbo Floating Restaurant at Aberdeen is no more – and, when we last heard, it was stuck on a coral reef somewhere in the South China Sea after capsizing on its way to Cambodia! We can’t say we ate there a lot, but it’s still sad to see the loss of an icon. Here’s some Jumbo trivia:
