Well w made it to Singapore without any problems. the flight on Royal Brueni was comfortable and the service wav excellent. By the time we landed in Singapore it felt like we had been eating non stop from the time we got on the plane. The weather was mostly fine as we flew across Australia and as we approaced Brueni I as struck by the contrast to the dry continent we had passed over and now we were over lush green tropical islands - very different.
We had a 3 hour wait in Brueni and by now we were all getting a little flat from hours and hours of travelling. I had a quick shower at the airport to freshen up which helped. The toilets were a different experience with some western style and some asian squat style. I wasn't game to try the squat ones - too difficult in jeans.
singapore is a very interesting Ciy with a wide variety of cultures eah proud to display their heitage. We spent yesterday walking the streets and our first stop after breakfast was Little India where I did the sari shopping. I'll have change for eveyone when I get back and I hope you like them.
Yesterday we explored little India, Little china, and a variety of local shopping malls. We did a river cruise on a bum boat, visited th Royal Selangor gallery and had a Singapore Sling at Rafles - very nice (got to be careful with these, could drink far too many if it weren't for the price). By now I was exhausted so John and I haeded back to the hotel where I relaxed in the hot spa and refreshing pool while John caught up on some sleep. the others went to the nocturnal zoo. Good thing I didn't go with them or I would be a complete wright off today ans they returne at 1am local time.
Hope ALL IS WELL AT HOME. Internet access is slow and expensive on the ship so might not get to write again until we are in Singapore again.
We are safe and having a great time.
Linda
