Singapore

Well, I've made it in one piece, humid but sunny Singapore. The flight was 6 hours and much more pleasant than the flight I've taken to Cairns of the same duration. During the flight there was dinner served and after that I popped a sleeping pill with Trav and we were in the land of dreams. He slept like a log and kept nudging me, so I didn't that good a rest, but some sleep is better than none. We landed at Changi at 06:05 right on time.

At first we were prepped to get into one of the transit lounges for a bit of a nap, but they were all booked out. So we decided to walk around a little and grab some food. Burger King (Hungry Jack's) and Subway are the same everywhere :) Never thought I'd be hungry for a Whopper with cheese meal at 07:15!

Trav and I then headed around the shops to check out what was around the airport, mind you, the place is MASSIVE. Although the same shops exists in both T1 and T2. Julz, your bottle of Camus is SGD235 - I'll get one for ya mate! I'll also be making sure I grab a bottle of Royal Salute for dad for a belated Father's Day.

After that we headed to the tourist information desk and tried to book one of the free See Singapore tours. Great, room for only one person. So we were told that we could grab the shuttle bus for free to Little India and hang around the Suntec Shopping Centre. We got there on time, checked into the right desk, but we were still messed up. Unfortunately one of the girls at the desk gave us the wrong information and we missed the 09:00 bus. We then waited for the 10:00 bus but we wouldn't have time to see Little India nor Suntec. She was really sorry and offered us a bookmark and a Singapore tourist photo booklet. You'd never get that service in Australia let alone in Wait Awhile, they'd tell you stiff bickies.

That's one of the main things I've noticed about Singapore, everyone is really friendly and will go out of their way to help you and serve you.

Anyway, back to the bus trip - took some photos off the main highway. Motorbikes everywhere. Thing that I love the most is that they have trayback trucks with rego stickers that say "70km/hr" and "8 pax" for the people riding in the back! Awesome.

No photos this time, the connection isn't that fast here at the Rainforest Lounge. Anyways, time to soon get going onto the next leg: Singapore to Frankfurt. We're due in Frankfurt at 20:30 so it will be straight into bed tonight I think.

Till next time...
