We got the Greyhound from Brisbane to Surfers yesterday morning, it rained all the way!! The nice young man behind the backpacker info counter called our hostel to get their mini bus to pick us up. They forgot about us.... so 40 mins later he called them again and we were officially on our way. This hostel has a pool and a hot tub, we watched from the window as the rain poured into them!

First stop was Lau Pa Sat, one of the best food courts in Singapore (and Anna and Diane's favourite restaurant!), where we had satay - delish, going to end up about 3 stone heavier by the time we leave here, the food is sooo good! Then we went to Penny Black for o...
