Not much to write today as it is my last day in Singapore and the last day of my holiday. I went to Orchard Road to look at the shops and then came back and had a quick swim. I will soon be on the plane home. I have had a great holiday and I am very lucky to have been able to go to so many places all different in their own way. I have been away from home for a month and I am now looking forward to seeing my family in England.... read more

Today I had a walk round City Mall which is a shopping centre opposite Raffles Hotel. I then took the train to Clarke Quay which is on the river and some of the few remaining buildings there are in the old colonial style. I then went by train to Harbourside and took the cable car over to Sentosa Island where I went round the S.E.A. Aquarium which is reputed to have the largest aquarium in the world And it was fantastic. I then got the monorail back to the rail station. When I got back to the hotel I had a swim in the warm swimming pool.... read more

Today is the last day in Forestdale, Brisbane. When I got up and went into the garden I found a male and female duck in the garden along with her 5 chicks. The ducks had been roaming the garden and also swimming in the pool. It seems they made the garden and pool their home whilst we were away. I had my last swim in the pool diving for coins and did a bit of last minute shopping, visited my cousin Lauren, Brad and baby Amber and then went to watch my cousin Sam play a football match. My cousin Kerrie was there along with my other cousin Will. I said my goodbyes to everyone and then went back to my aunt Jean's and uncle Tony's for an evening meal. Tomorrow morning I am off to ... read more

After lunch I walked round the Old Rock area of the harbou which is a market selling arts and crafts. In the evening I went with my family for a meal at Darling Harbour which is named after Lieutenant General Ralph Darling.... read more
