Crown Prince Hotel Singapore

G'day



Hope you're all doing well!



We left London last Friday and have been busy trying to catch up on

sleep since!



Plane left London on time at 10pm on Friday, Charlotte finally got to

watch angels and demons ( she was disappointed compared with the

book ) and I ended up flicking through various channels.



It was then time for food and they started giving out the ...

As lindsay is writing mini essays at the minute I thought I should contribute something!
Firstly we are having a great time, love Singapore and Grand Prix was really good, (thought I would get a little bored but the qualifying and race flew by! Lindsay will tell you all about it in more detail, however I have some little extra points that I wanted to add:

1 ...

... challanging and impossible to get a hole in one. One of the holes is suppose to be the MRT (subway) and once you hit your ball up a ramp, the ball take a ride on a subway, to it's next destination! There's 18 holes though and they were getting ready to close so we had to play speed golf. We did cheat and occasionally the staff watches you and makes you start over! hahaha Still yet, it took us an hour to ...

... getting a bit sick of the throngs of people and so we walked in the stiffling heat back to the MRT at City Hall and from there in the air-conditioned comfort of the City Link Mall back to our hotel.
We had a chat to Katie on Skype and watched the end of the Dees/Blues game while lamenting the thrashing the Crows were giving our Eagles!!!! In combination with the pathetic efforts of the Aussies in the cricket has made for another miserable sporting Saturday.

... with the food we got attacked from all sides and somehow managed to avoid getting pooed on :). After a few hours of walking around we headed for the exit but not before calling in one the night birds (met my owly friend again) and the penguin enclosure. I hadn't realised the happy feet penguins where that big. We jumped back on the train, found some food and hit the bed.

... br>It just so happened that there were
tons of torrential downpours throughout the day so we did miss out on
a few of the feedings and a show since the animals hid during the
rain and they want to protect the animals in the show from
lightening. That said, we saw a HUGE fish that looked like a
crocodile being fed and it looked like a Jaw's grabbing the food out
of the water. We also saw a sea lion from Cali do some tricks and
some manatees all perform as well as a ...

... who'd already got to my seat before me... but she's not flying on past Singapore, so I do get to see green England tomorrow. My other passenger buddy turned out to be a guy called Peter from the Centre for Commonwealth studies, who is heading to speak at a conference in London on Wednesday! Don't ever get a seat in row 64 of a 747; cos of the way they space out meals it means that you are always ...

26.3. Singapur Für diesen Tag hatten wir uns die Stadtviertel von Singapur vorgenommen. So stand zunächst mal Chinatown auf dem Programm, ein Viertel, in dem viele Chinesen wohnen. Singapur ist von den Menschen her ein großer Mix: Es gibt Chinesen, Malayen, Inder und viele Mixformen, also für uns sehr interessante Gesichter, da wir ja das asiatische oder indische Aussehen in Europa kaum gewöhnt sind. In Chinatown gab es eine Menge zu ...

I am writing this on the plane up from Perth to Singapore and as I hope to sleep for a good part of the 14hrs from Singapore to London, now is a good time to compose my (almost) final blog on this trip. Lynne and Ian picked us up from Dave and Barb's yesterday (Sunday) lunchtime and we said our good byes to Marcus, Kate and Daniel, as we probably wouldn't see them again before we leave. We drove to their place at Marmion, just a couple of streets ...
