Been a hectic week, so much going on I can't even think where to begin. I had a horrible yes horrible job working a PROMO (which really i think they shouldn't hire models unless the models are with a promotional agency) handing out cards sprayed with a new Chloe perfume. I don't care how much they were paying it didn't help that I was in killer heels on a new shiny surface, being scorned at by grouchy old women and "larger" ladies and I swear I now have RSI from spraying that damn perfume so much.

Rest day today, or so I thought. I planned on doing nothing but read a book by the pool. I was given a free pass to use the public transport system for 3 days, so I thought I would give it a burl. On the way to the bus stop, I found a bushwalk. Now I couldnt pass that up, so headed off. After half an hour I found myself at the monorail station, hopped on to see where it went. All roads (rail in this case) lead to shopping centres. Something they do right in my opinion - empty an [View Full Entry]

So this is where my 'listing by day' plan comes unstuck. Travelling so far east around the planet the whole time thing gets a little wobbly, and my body doesnt know whether its hungry, tired, hot or cold. A nice night in the Delmere in London and a good breakfast too. Rain stopped for a short while so decided to walk to Paddington station. It was less than quarter of the distance to walk than a black cab (one way streets). Todays travelling surpassed all other, everything fell together like kids jigsaw. I walked into Paddington station and found the sign [View Full Entry]

Met up with the German girls from the tour for a day trip to Singapore’s Sentosa island, a reclaimed island built in the 60’s. I think its Singapore’s only decent beach as everyone advised us to visit it. We took the bottomless cable car across to the island. It was more expensive than the normal cable car by £1 and meant we didn’t have to queue. We sat on the man-made beach for a couple of hours in the sun. The water was so polluted I didn’t swim and the 19 oil tankers I counted in the close distance put me [View Full Entry]

Hiya - well this is what happened on day 2 in Singaporel. Decided to go to Sentosa Island with Saskia. After a great sleep - a full 9hours, even with the noisy air conditioning on and no black out blinds. See dad my tolerance levels are improving already ha ha!!! I skipped breakfast even though it was a complimentary breakfast and should cost $18 and stayed in bed. We had arranged to meet at 12.30 at the harbourfront food court as this is where Ray (one of the Americans) had told us to meet. I had no charger for my mobile [View Full Entry]

Photos were taken on the 26th of October 2007. We spent the day in Sentosa Island; we went to Underwater World. This aquarium seems better than the ones in Melbourne & Sydney. We also went to Dolphin Lagoon & watched the dolphin show. In the afternoon, we made our way back to the city & got ready for our trip to the Night Safari. Everything inside the zoo was expensive (no surprises there) so we decided not to eat there. We made our way to Lau Pa Sat by taxi & ate at one of the hawker stands. We also tried [View Full Entry]

The first full day in Singapore so it's off to Sentosa island, the island just off the south of Singapore that has lots of entertainment and beaches. Sentosa is the most southerly point on mainland asia apparently. I use the subway which uses a smartcard, it's 2 dollars with 1 back if you return the card, and then over to Sentosa on the monorail. Once on the island there are couple of artificial beaches but when you look out to sea there are oil tankers waiting to go into port - it puts you off going into the water for a [View Full Entry]

So This Is What Paradise Is!! We were up nice and early today, mainly because Amy was bouncing off the walls, as we made our day trip to Sentosa Island. The island is only about 1km off the coast of Singapore and is considered the southern most point of continental South East Asia (even though it's an island off an island off the continent). About 20 years ago the military gave the island over to tourism to create a resort/theme park/wilderness precinct and when the government does something here, they do it in style!! Through the neon arch, we pay the [View Full Entry]

Hi readers Well where were we? Oh yes on Koh Lipe and moving back to a superior bungalow - well, we were lucky they had one but we had to spend three nights in the standard - not so good. As we said cold shower but air con - unfortunately the bloody air con packed up so not a good night's sleep on the last night. So glad to be back to superior even though Bob thinks he has let down the backpacking fraternity by us being wimps. Spent most of the time on the beach during the day and during [View Full Entry]

Ponoci - sicer ze bolj proti svitu - me je prvic zbudil klic moseje Sultan, ki je v sosednji bajti. Najin B&B ima pac prime location. Bilo je kar zanimivo. Zjutraj sva si ga res vzeli na easy, najprej zajtrk, potem zehta, potem nujni obisk lokalnega hawker centra za drugi del zajtrka, pol pa sele na pot do Sentosa island. Zapeljali sva se do Harbourfront MRT postaje, potem pa odpesacili do stavbe, od koder je peljala gondola do omenjenga otoka. Zabava naju je za enosmerno voznjo kostala 11.90 dolarjev + 2 dolarja za vstop na sam otok, torej $13.90 - draginja. [View Full Entry]
