Thursday 26th February 2009
I was up nice and early and Sasha texted me to tell me she was at the border and would be with us soon. Once she joined us the first task for her was a nice hot shower as she had been on buses for over 24 hours. She said she had, had a really good time, but had not eaten or slept properly for two days. Her hair is now orange and pink and she looked like a real traveller.
We packed up a shoe box full of books and money for Stefan as we realized he was not going to get here until well after we had departed, so, we will have to trust the reception desk at the hotel to hold onto it and give it to him,.
Otherwise we would have thrown away GB£700.
He wants to stay another month in Thailand, we want him to come with us to get experience in other countries.
Sofia organised a mini bus to take us and our luggage to the airport at 1:00pm, as we had to check out before 12:00pm. We were at the airport nice and early and luckily there was an early check in desk, so by 2:00pm we were checked in and our baggage was gone.
As our flight was not due until 10:15pm we decided to catch the link to Terminal 3 and from there get the MRT to Orchard Road.
By now it was heaving down with rain.
Sasha was starving and so we took her to Muddy Murphy’s for lunch, she had the bacon butty (as did Basty), Alan and I were also predictable and also had the same as on our last two visits, predictable.
After lunch, on the walk back to the MRT the kids had need of chocolate cake so we stopped at a posh coffee shop, they each ordered a chocolate desert to share half each.
Unfortunately Sasha’s lara cake apparently blew up in the oven so we had to wait another twenty minutes for them to bring it, they both said it was worth the wait.
Back on the MRT and after three changes we were back at Changi Airport.
Changi Airport is one of the best airports to have to spend the long periods of time that the modern world or travel demands and the Singapore transport system is one of the wonders of the modern world so getting from it to and from the city centre is so easy.
We checked through to the departure area easily.
Basty found a Wii golf game that you could play and he was on that non stop .
Sofia got some Sushi and bought me a nice cold Sapporo beer while I tried and failed to get on the internet. So we headed to our departure gate (22) and onto the plane.
Sofia watched The Duchess with Kiera Knightly and Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais, and enjoyed them and she then watched Little Britain in the USA and giggled quite a bit. I watched a bit of everything. Six hours later and we were landing in Adelaide.
At Adelaide there were long immigration queues but a nice friendly drugs beagle checking all the cases.
