HELLO!!! Blog entry number 1...My main exploits seem to have been travelling so far, on and in various means of transport. My 12 and a half hour flight to Singapore ran pretty smoothly despite an initial meltdown when realisation of what I was doing sank in!! Thanks to Craig and Heather for being very patient with me and telling me to not be so ridiculous!! My hotel in Singapore was pretty amazing, and the couple I was sat next to on the flight ended up at the same hotel as me so I felt like I had friends already!

I only had 1 day in Singapore but made the most of it by walking for MILES. I covered China town which is all set up for chinese new year celebrations next week, explored Clarke Quay, made it to Raffles, walked down Orchard Road, had a pit stop in a couple of parks to read my book, ate a lot of noodles and obviously had a Singapore Sling.

It was then an early flight to Australia the next day. I am struggling to adjust to the time difference and after thinking I would sleep well after such a long day I woke up at 1:30am and just lay awake till 5:30 when I had to get up for my flight anyway.

Stewart's Mum very kindly picked me up from the airport, both very glad that we still recognised each other! Stew's house is lovely, it's amazing what you can get for your money over here. For Naomi and Lucie's benefit, Stew is in the Nickel mining business!! Today I am going into town to find the bus company who are taking me on my adventures round the West coast, starting tomorrow.

This is a bit of a boring first entry as I haven't really done that much yet!! Hoping to be a little more exciting next time, to be sleeping through the night, and not starving hungry at 3am every morning!!

By the way its 30°, clear blue skies and I'm wearing shorts and vest top!!!

SEE YA!!!
