Singapore

Departed Tulla' about 8.30pm and the sunset above the clouds was fantastic. Flight was really empty, practically had the back half of the thing to ourselves. Landed at Changi International approx 1.00am and started phoning a couple of likely looking hostels. Ended up at 'The Hive' backpackers at about 3am. Pretty clean but simple joint. Funny sign on the dunny..





Spent our 25 hrs in Singapore at Sentosa island and Jurong bird park. The cable car ride over to the island was pretty speccy tho it was overcast (still hot tho) and it looks like they're building another planet on the city side of Sentosa. We checked out the beach, a couple of walks thru the forest and the flower show. We only had a couple of hours at Jurong once we got there, tho we caught the birds of prey show and took our cameras for a bit of a gander round the rest of the circus.





We got back to our end of the town about 7.30pm and had a good meal and a couple of pints in a cosy cafe/bar in Little India. Post pints we picked up our packs from the Hive and got the last connecting train out to Changi Int. Bit fecked right now so might go and have a lie down at the gate lounge. Still, can look forward to breakfast in Dubai.

Hi Bidge & Sarah, good to hear from you.
What sort of plane was it? I waved as my 737-800 taxied past yr big 2-engined Emirates job - we were late leaving - tho you wouldn't have noticed. Had a filthy day in court on Thurs then a nice quiet day pottering about with Murray on Friday. It's hot this weekend - low to mid-30s - and Dad & I are just setting out on a ride up to Strathewan. see ya, xm
