When I first set foot in Singapore I was shocked. In a continent where most of it's countries are struggling to survive, Singapore bucks the trend and appears to be an oasis in the desert. Sparkling highrises, savvy metropolitan citizens, high-tech mass transit, yet something doesn't seem quite right, it's just too perfect. We finished our last couple days in Ko Tao diving and soaking up the sun. I love that place and can guarantee that one day I will be back there. On my last two dives I even got to lead two other fun divers as our dive master [View Full Entry]

Singapore was short and sweet and finished far too quickly - just like our Singapore Slings in Raffles. The obligatory cocktail in The Long Bar was one of thousands they sell every day, but at £13 a glass Andy capped us at one each - even the free monkey nuts wouldn’t persuade him otherwise. Sir Thomas Raffles not only has the monopoly on cocktails, but also the city as we soon discovered on our River Bumboat (real name) Cruise. The city still stands the way he designed it in 1819 and the Raffles name is attached to everything from the hospital [View Full Entry]

Arrived Darwin airport and checked in for our Crapstar flight (whoops.. Jetstar) to Singapore. We had planned on bringing our backpacks on as cabin luggage as Damian had a great plan to hang out in the transit lounge and try and get into QANTAS club so we could shower, eat and drink for free and hang out there for our 8 hour layover before heading to Siem Reap. Well, that plan backfired. We had to check our luggage in which meant we had to clear immigration and customs in Singapore and pray to god that we could check in early for [View Full Entry]

My computer is completely dead, so I'm currently typing on my roomates tiny slovakian computer... spelling and grammatical errors are definitely to follow! Ok a lot has been happening and I haven't been able to update, so here goes catching up on what feels like the last 20 years of my life.... Tom wanted to check out wavehouse where you can ride man made waves. He brought his skateboard along, so while he was surfing I was getting lessons off the local skater kids on the finer points of skating (still no career for me there!) great backdrop to learn though, [View Full Entry]

Viimeiset kolme viikkoa paivat ovat keinahdelleet eteenpain kuin kamelikaravaani - ei niin etta olisi jatkuvasti huonovointinen siita heilumisesta, tai etta eramaan laiva kieltaytyisi yhteistyosta tai etta keitaita ei nakyisi missaan tai etta aurinko korventaisi ihon kuplivaksi kudokseksi. Jotenkin vain paivat ovat menneet ja paljon on tapahtunut, paitsi etta valilla on tapahtunut tosi vahan, mika on ollut tarkoituskin, ja ainakin silloin talloin on tuntunut hiekkaa varpaiden alla, etta edes joku asia muistuttaa sita kamelikaravaanijuttua mika tuossa tuli heti alussa mainittua.

I am currently at our favourite holiday destination, Singapore Changi Airport. We have a few hours until our flight so there is time for one final blog entry... I thouroughly enjoyed our time, albeit a bit sleep deprived, in Santiago and Barcelona after finishing our walk. On Monday night the large group of people that Angi had come to know during her Camino gathered together in Santiago for final celebration drinks and dinner. Angi appeared to have mixed emotions; she was very happy to see all of the friends she had made on her Camino but was also very sad to [View Full Entry]

Now in our daylong layover in Singapore. Arrived 3AM last night after a horrid plane trip. First leg with LA to Tokyo which was really bumpy and Rick had most of his meals ending up on his shirt. Rick calls it the roller coaster ride. Didn't sleep a wink. It was well over 20h with delays after our supposed 1hour layover in Tokyo. We had to deplane and then go back thru security and replane. Why? Beats me. Tammy lost her jacket during the reboarding in Tokyo and ran back off the plane to find it. The gate agents were very [View Full Entry]

Six weeks, seven countries and twelve cities later, our tour to Russia the long way round has finally drawn to a close. It has been the most incredible experience and I am very glad to say there isn’t any one thing that stands out well beyond the others, there were so many magical moments of our trip: seeing snow and wild Elk in Golden Colorado and dining out with Jon and Julie who we both had a fantastic time with; the neon extravaganza of both Las Vegas and Times Square in New York City; the climb to the observation deck of [View Full Entry]

İ'm still trying to decide if Singapore is a place to come back to or not, but as a place to jump off the plane for a while it's not all that bad. One thıng that's for sure though ıs that the tourısm mob ın Sıngapore really markets ıtself. If you've got more than a couple of hours they are happy to put you on a bus tour of the cıty and away you go. Mınd you for a place that's only 40 km by 20 km the fıve mıllıon people that lıve there seem to have a lot of stuff [View Full Entry]
