I decided to do some exploring today. I usually have my first day anywhere purely exploring, deciding and finding places to go. Usually this is a good idea. But as this is Singapore most people would have thought about the humidity. Not me. I enjoyed my trekking about but admittedly it's like being in a sauna! I started off going to the National Museum of Singapore which was intensive, beautifully put together and a real pleasure to view. It's not like so many other museums where it's laid out and you read every tab, they give you an audio piece so that you can listen to the tour as you go along, but you choose where you go and what you listen to. There were two routes in the history part of the museum "Events" and ... read more

Saavuttiin koneeseen pääsyn jännityksen jälkeen suht pirteinä (J&S nukkui, mutta P&Y ei juuri yhtään) Hong Kongiin lauantai-iltapäivällä. Mun 10. kerta HKG ja napattiin taas vanhasta muistista superhalpa HK Hostel, jonne on loistavat yhteydet ja sijainti muutenkin hyvä. Halvalla hinnalla (ja sillä, että aulassa lukee paikan olevan täysin laiton), tuntuu olevan miinuspuolensa: S odotti huoneessa kun hain rinkat respasta ja maksamassa. Pieneen hissiin tuli 3 muuta HK:laista. Jossain kohtaa kesken matkan 2-3 krs välillä hissi yhtäkkiä pysähtyi ja jäi kerrosten väliin jumiin. EI HELV!! ajattelin tietty ekana. 10min venailtiin ja sit tekstailin jo muille tilanteesta. Huoneissa on telkkarit, joista näkee turvakameroiden kuvaa ja pari ruutua on varattu hisseille. Eli S katseli telkkarista ilmastoidussa huoneessa kun mä ja 3 muuta tuskailtiin. Oli törkeän kuuma ja happi tuntui loppuvan. Mietin j... read more

We left good old Oz flying Qantas. I know they get a bagging but we had a great flight even with a delay. The kids were very well behaved. Very excited though. Very warm and muggy in Singapore, especially after leaving freezing Bridgetown. We went to a food hall for dinner, kids tried something new which was great considering a Macdonalds was right there. Great start to our 14 week world trip. Care Factor - Qantas flight CF 7 (nb would have been higher if we didn't have all male cabin crew. Richard B has the idea with his cabin crew but Qantas service is so much better). Singapore food and hotel CF 8. Off to Bali today (Alex thinks it is called Bali Street, just like at home).... read more
