Today was another travel day. Unfortunately Lisa had got a little over excited while planning her trip and booked a flight for Kuala Lumper rather than Singapore so we had to go there first and then fly to Singapore (which made it a longer day than it needed to be). Still,we were in by 5.30pm and as we got on the metro into the town centre we could see a heavy black storm cloud heading over. It waited until we checked into our roon and then the craziest storm started!!!
It is a lot cooler here, around 33C which feels very comfortable but hasn't stopped raining really.
Singapore is really expensive too. Around 5 pound for a small beer. Our hotel room cost a fortune and in a way we are pleased we will only have a couple of days here.
We really feel like we have got back into civilisation. We haven't been asked for any money off beggers, seen any rats and everyone speaks English!!! Cars stop for traffic lights and we have even walked on carpet - a strange feeling after seven weeks of walking on concrete or tiles!!
In the evening we went for a wander down by the riverside. It felt strangly familiar - a cross between London and New York. There is even a big London Eye -style thing.
Anyway, tomorrow we head for Australia and the first part of our journey is over. We have enjoyed ourselves but are ready to go home. Keep your eyes peeled on the blog though as some photos have yet to be put up and there are some funny posts we have been meaning to put up and haven't had time. Bring on two days when we have the laptop back!!
