We have just arrived in Aukland (first impression - a more picturesque portsmouth...) but first we had 3 days in Signapore first. Here's what we've learnt so far: Our bags are really heavy (but cant decide what we could have left behind), Singapore is incredibly multicultural, clean and futuristic and thunderstorms looks amazing from a plane.
In Singapore after sleeping surpirsingly well in bunk beds (They are the so cool) we spent the dirst day at the Gardens by the Bay. This is the unbelievably futeristic loooking garden inthe pictures. It was amazing and full of surprises such as the occssional 2m long fish. That night was chinese new year and we marched exausted around chinatown in huge crowds but could never find what people were looking at! Did see this guy making noodles though which seemed more like magic.
Next day we did more gardens, the botanic gardens this time. They were really impressive and orchid garden section was especially amazing. Slightly disappointed we missed the poisounous part fo the gardens though (tour groups only).
Last day and we went to both hindu and buddist temples in chinatown as well as visiting little india. Both temples really amazing and spiritual. Buddhist temple is new and was huge and had ridiculous amounts of gold in it! Ate brilliant chicken curry in little india and tried and failed to convince charlotte to buy a kimono like thing.
Flew through thunderstorm on way to new zealand but managed to avoid the cylcone apporaching Brisbane. Now the real adventure begins...
