'Verity's Travels'
Hey!
We arrived in singapore early Thursday morning, very tired after a long flight! After getting a few hours sleep to recover, we headed out to Orchard Road (our hostel is here) and to any of you who know Singapore you'll know how many shops there are down this road. Every building is a huge shopping mall with about 5 floors, we passed about 20 of them! We got some information about what to do (SWAG team - the Singapore book has come in very very handy, thank you!) and then had a nice Chinese meal!
Yesterday we got on a hop on hop off bus and explored Little India and chinatown. We went into a Hindu temple and a Chinese temple, they were very interesting. In the evening we went on a night safari, it was amazing! We sat on a tram that went round the park and got to see animals as if they were in the wild, there were no fences or cages so we had to be quiet otherwise they would have approached us! One drawback though was the fact that I spent the whole time while on the coach on the way, on the tram and on the way back vomitting :( Bryony was a good nurse though!
For those of you who know that I'm not great with directions.... I'm navigating us very well! We are off to to the cable cars today which will take us up into the mountains so that we will have views of the bay and the rest of the country.
I've been good with the whole chewing gum law, I've made sure that I haven't had any on me so there is no chance of me being summonded to pubic service in a bright orange jacket or worse still locked up!
Off to Melbourne tomorrow, home of 'Neighbours'. Hoping to tour Ramsey Street in the next few days!
Well I had better go as my money is running out. I'll email you again once I get to Australia. Hope you're all well.
Take care,
Verity x
