Long time no speak!!
Well the end of thailand is here, we stayed on Koh Phi Phi islands and did a tour around them for a day, which was beautiful, saw the James Bond Island and The Beach island, (cant remember what i last wrote about so will briefly mention things) Then moved to Railay beach,very good for climbing-thats the pictures where greg is standing in the sunset, after our strenuous climb over the rocks, it was horrible-havent sweated so much since all the time we'v been in thialnd!!with our bags which are pretty heavy now!!stayed there for a night, then had to start our travels back to Krabi,where we would be picked up to go to singapore.
Journey to bottom of Thialand in a minivan,was ok,then changed to a spacious bus with air con,and that took about 16hours,very long!stopped at a service station in malaysia and some woman cooked us egg fried rice in seconds,which was really good:) malaysia was very different to thailand, but not as good as singapore.
arrived in singapore at 3 in the morning,not knowing where we had been dropped and not sure what to do,as trains didnt start running until 6am. so a group of us shared the taxi to the airport, then found a bar which wasnt open to sleep on the couches there,as werent allowed into arrivals so early before our flight time!!
Got about 2hours sleep and our french friend matthew had dissappeared, found him after-he had woken up and gone for a wonder. He had visited Singapore before so he said it was worth a visit. So we put our luggage into a place you could pay and leave it for the day, and took the underground to singpore central. The trains are so efficient and often and run so smoothly,everything about singapore is like clockwork!SO we got some breakfast/brunch and then went around china town, busy bustling place lots of tourists. Greg and Matthew tried this meat thing, which they sell a lot apparently, was like salami but also liked sliced meat, cant describe it!!greg would know better as he ate it. then carried on around the city, will have to finish another time as are leaving now to get the bus, sorry!
Back now,soo we went to this street where they had cornered it off to traffic and had it advertised, as there is a night race in September for Formula 1, and they were showing off a car... Apparently Lewis Hamiltons and Mika Hackinnen was driving the car. We were handed out ear plugs and then had to wait about 40minutes. But then you knew when the car was starting!!It was sooooo loud!! and fast- i have never a car drive that fast, it was quite cool, and greg really liked it which he would more than me-will put pics up, that i just captured as it was so fast, so hard to get any pictures!! walked back to the airport and sorted out our bags-as we have bought new bags, that have wheels on so we dont have to carry our smaller rucksacks on our fronts.it's much easier because we can wheel them!!
Then we asked if there were any showers, and there were-in the lounge,usually for people who have long flights and stopping over, it was like a spa, really posh and clean. Got given a towel and had a really long hot shower. So now feeling all fresh we went and made our way to departures, checked in and walked around. They provide free internet at the airport which is such a good idea!so we played about on there for a bit, then sat near our gate. The flight was about 7 hours we had two meals, didnt sleep much and watched lots of films!! new blog now!
