Singapore is lovely, spent many hours in Chinatown wondering through the bustling stalls.
It is lovely and hot (too hot at times) so I have been sunbathing and swimming, very relaxing!
One evening we decided to go to a drag cabaret, it has to be one of the worst shows ever. It was cringe making especially when Simona had to go up and make rude noises in the microphone which she refused to do so she suggested that I go up instead, nice sister! Of course I also refused.
01 I took my hair out of the plaits, looks good!
I still cringe when I think of it!We also went to an island that is attached to Singapore by a bridge, Sentosa Island. Here we went to an aquarium, which was fantastic. We saw some huge fish, they were amazing. We then went to the pink dolphin show, unfortunately 5 mins into it the skies opened so it was cancelled. Therefore we had to go home, a very grumpy wet group!
We also went to a Night Safari which was amazing. You jump on a tram and see all the nocturnal animals. They were so close you felt as though you could touch them, we saw lions, tigers, hyenas, deers, rhinos etc. A brilliant experience.
Another fun experience was going to Snow City. This is basically an indoor snow area where we threw snow balls at each other and went down a snowy slope on rubber rings. This was great fun and even mummy came down. On a couple of goes I managed to spin round accidently and ended up travelling backwards ( we all ended up with very wet bottoms)!
And that's about it. Last night was the last night the four of us were together so we had a meal out (and I had too much wine)! Today (Wednesday) Simona's friend Mark flew out and they are off travelling together later on tonight (Simona doesn't come home until April)which just leaves me, mum and Frank (I have to sleep on my own tonight!). Then we leave very late Thurs/Fri morning, mum and Frank fly to Dubai and poor me has to fly home alone for 14hrs, who will I talk to?! Luckily Katie is meeting me at the airport so that will be exciting.
So that is the end of my 6 months of travels. I have had such an amazing time, yes it has been hard at times and I have moaned (!) but I have seen so much, learnt some things about myself, met loads of people and loved spending so much time with my sis, Sim. I can't believe that it has come to an end, I feel quite emotional.
