Our story begins, 5th March 2015, Adelaide to Singapore leaving at 11.55am.
We have worked very hard since the beginning of the year, making sure all our work is up to date before we leave, as usual, too much to do!!
We left our home this morning after saying bye to Nikki, who was off to school, and Melanie, who was off to Uni, and to Shani, our loyal dog.
Driven to the airport by Julie and Roy, for a kiss and drop, we then checked in our bags, filled in our forms and then headed to immigration, then through to duty free!!
We boarded,then we were off !! Not long into our flight, drinks were served, and since we're on holidays, a brandy was ordered!!
Soon enough, our lunch was on our trays,Oriental style deep fried Fish with garlic sauce, Chinese vegetables and mushroom rice, lucky I eat mushrooms now, with cheese and crackers, glass of Shiraz, then an ice cream. After all this time, we are still flying over the top end of Australia, looks really hot out there and dry!! Australia is a huge country. The coast had loads of Islands and then it was all sea.
So now
I sit here completely bored, used all my lives in stupid candy crush( I don't know why I even play it) so now it's back to the travel pod, but I'm feeling really sleepy, those Remy Martin VSOP Cognacs are going down nicely!! My iPad says it is 3.55 which is 4 hours since we left and my bum is numb!! Another light meal came out and then we prepared for landing.
We arrived earlier than expected, and was easy getting through customs, found our driver and was on our way to the hotel, probably took around half an hour to get there. This was an awesome view, as we came across the bridge, the Marina Bay Sands hotel and we have kept this one as a secret, because we have saved for so long just to make the start of our trip special, I thought, we are going on a cruise from Singapore, we may as well stay in the ship hotel too!!
We got checked in, and were taken to our room, on the 45th floor!! Stunning view and very spacious. We were soon off to check out the infinity pool on the rooftop before heading out to pick
up some dinner. We walked through the Marina Bay Shops, just window shopping and continued for quite a while before we found a huge international food court and bought some curry to take back to our room. When heading back, the full moon was just coming up behind our hotel which it was stunning. After eating our dinner, we went for a swim about 9pm, then at 9.30pm, the laser show started, and we were hanging off the edge of the pool watching the lights and our photos just don't show really how spectacular they were.
Back to our room for a drink before bed, and our view was great too with all the city lights!
