    We've arrived in Singapore! We packed up our things had one last use of our lovely hostel's kitchen before setting off on the journey to Singapore. We're very sad to be leaving our great hostel behind and hopefully the next one will be just as nice. We got to the bus station early with an Uber which gave us time to relax and fill out our immigration forms for the border crossing. Eventually we were on the bus and on our way down south. The journey wasn't that long but it was very dull and as you can see I was rather tired out by it! We both read quite a lot and then the two border stops helped break up the journey. There was no direction from the driver as to what to do at these stops, we just followed the crowd and hoped for the best. We were a bit miffed when out of everyone on our bus we were the ones to have our bags x-rayed outside the immigration centre to then have it done again inside as well. We did queue for quite a while but we got through okay and eventually found ourselves in a Singapore! Our hostel was a 15 minute walk from bus station but it was 15 minutes of blistering heat even late in the afternoon but we finally made it. We were offered to upgrade from an 8 bed dorm to a 2 bed for only £12 extra so it seemed like a welcome idea and now having been here this evening we were so pleased we did. Our room is small with a bunk bed in but having that privacy and not having to worry about making too much noise is great. We headed to a food court in a mall near by in search of cheap food and found a pretty nice Japanese place where we chose to ate. Meals are more expensive here so we were pleased with our cheaper food that we'd managed to find. After dinner and some shopping for packed lunches we came back and planned our accommodation in Bali for the first few days of our trip. We've got a busy day planned for tomorrow so it's off to bed ready to start exploring in the morning.Okumaya devam et
