Trip to Singapura

At last, after 48 years in this earth, I’ve travelled to another country, not a state, not a province, another country and so far it has been exciting.

The plane ride was a bit choppy, don’t know why.  Maybe to get here we had to fly over Victoria, Western Australia, Christmas Island, or I’m just a bit paranoid in planes… Anyway, we are here..  From the airport we checked in at Holiday Inn at the Orchard City Centre and off to the Night Safari.  WE were picked up by a shuttle van which stalled in the middle of the highway.  The driver was apologetic, but what could we do.  In just a few minute the van started again and we were off.  We arrived at the Singapore Flyer where we were met by our tour guide (yes we had a tour guide, feeling tourista talaga)

The Night Safari tours included a buffet dinner (ours anyway) and the dinner was fantastic, or maybe I was just hungry.  After dinner we went straight to the tram for the tour itself, the tour guide was trying to get us in front of the line, but that is another story.  The line to the tram tour was so long it reminded me of the time I got in line to get pizza when we went to see Jack Johnson at the Domain in Sydney.

Finally getting in the tram we took the tour which lasted for an hour and finally sat down to have that world famous Singapore Sling for $16 (a bit expensive but paminsan minsan lang naman).

Then back to the hotel and off to sleep at 11:30 pm, 2:30 am Sydney time.

and the adventure continues….  :)
