More crocs, art, wildlife and scenery.
24. juni 2018, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
More of the same today. Kakadu has plenty of crocs of course, like everywhere else in the top end, plenty of fauna and flora, glorious beaches, endless awesome countryside to gaze at, ancient art galleries and it even has its own uranium mine.
The mine is closing in a couple of years. They have finished digging but still processing what has been dug. We saw a load of yellowcake being trucked to the port for export.Læs mere

Last day in Darwin.
25. juni 2018, Australien ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Our whirlwind tour of NT ends today, almost a rest day. Some time to reflect on the WW2 attack on Darwin and the devastation caused by the big wind 30 years later. Had lunch with a local feral oops damn that spell check, I mean a local friend. And one last opportunity to soak in a bit more of Darwin life. Tonight we head to the airport to continue our journey north.Læs mere

In which one day blurs into the next
26. juni 2018, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
What day is it? Yeah, we've all heard it but today I really felt it. We flew out of Darwin at 1:40am. I was asleep before the plane reached the runway, awoken when the hostie was bringing refreshments in the sky, crossed the border several times in and out of the land of nod before landing in the northern hemisphere a timezone or two further west, after about 4 1/2 hrs in the sky though could have been 4 1/2 days for all I knew.

Not long after, I was dreaming that I was driving a train but soon realized that it was not a dream, I really was in the driver's seat, well it would have been if the train had a driver.

Then came nightmares of being surrounded by O-bikes then realized it's their cousins, Mobike, ofo, Sg bikes and Anywheel. And not just bikes, there's motor scooters too.

After another feed and another sleep and another feed, i wondered whether this was breakfast, lunch, smoko or dinner.

Welcome to Singapore.Læs mere

Sight seeing Singapore
28. juni 2018, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
For us, time in Singapore is all about eating, time with family and eating or perhaps the reverse. But we do get out occassionally.

The hazards of Singapore
30. juni 2018, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
There are some hazards in Singapore apart from eating too much. When it rains you can get very very wet very very quickly. And there is carnivorous lego.

Gone fishing
2. juli 2018, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Time for some fishing. Aside from dodging ships of all sorts, floating litter and ducking under planes landing at Changi, there was time to drop some lines. A lovely day with the in-laws, only thing missing was fish.Læs mere

Food Family and Friends

Singapore is all about catching up with family and friends and eating. I lasted until our second last day before my wife succumbed to the increasing yearning for durian.

Time to Scoot
6. juli 2018, Australien ⋅ 🌬 12 °C
Share bikes have recently flooded Singapore and whilst I think the abuse is less than in Melbourne, there is a problem with bikes being left anywhere rather than in designated bike parking areas. They are trying to clamp down on it but it remains to be see how effective it is.

Another change is the number of people getting about on motorised scooters. There are a few bike paths around for recreational use but bike lanes are rare so cycling and scooting on footpaths is common, sometimes without much care.

There are some docking stations for share scooters. A problem with docked parking is that if it is full when you get there, you have to go somewhere other than where you want to go so that defeats the purpose.

Anyway, it's time to scoot. I've booked a big scooter, Scoot flight TR18 on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, bound for Melbourne. My trip north is over but, sadly, winter in Melbourne isn't.Læs mere
