Hi all!
It's been a few days since I updated so here goes...
Our last day in Singapore was lovely. After being stuck inside from 11am until 3pm because of rain like you have never seen, we made our way to Raffles. Singapore's most exclusive hotel!
Far too exclusive for us...we weren't even allowed to go into the reception, so we decide to visit the sovenir shop instead! Still completely unaffordable but managed to buy a bookmark :-D
AT the back of the hotel, there's a small bar that is open to the public...Long Bar, where they sell their signature drink, The Singapore Sling! At a price of 14 of the queens finest, we decided to buy one and share it!!! You also get complementary nuts in their shells and can just throw the shells on the floor. It's a tradition. The entire floor is covered with nut shells!
After having dinner at Raffles, we headed to the Night Safari. It's a shame that the pictures didn't come out very well. The animals were fascinating and were so close to us!
We had an amazing time in Singapore. Loved every minute of it. We were looked after so well and we hope to go back to visit one day.
All the way to the airport, I was hoping and praying that the flight was going to be smooth. I have realised just how much I don't like turbulence!
My hoping didn't pay off. Turbulence! Again!! So I decided to drink quite alot of wine which Jez found hilarious and kept taking pictures of me...!!
Landing in Brisbane and seeing Craig was so exciting :-D and so far, they have too, looked after us so wonderfully. They have taken us to the local beaches. We saw our very first kangaroo! With a joey in it's pouch...something that apparently is very rare to see. And today, we have been strawberry picking! We have just dipped them in melted chocolate so we must go and enjoy!
We are going to explore the area properly when we come back here in 4 weeks time.
For now, we are heading up the coast tomorrow on a three week trip to Cairns...first stop...Noosa. Hostel booked and seat reserved on the greyhound, so we are feeling very proud of ourselves for getting this far!!
(We will be sure to let you know what the hostel is like...!)
We love you all loads
