Finally some sleep. Up and breakfast and packing.

We went to the see some more outlooks and then into the village for vanilla milkshake. We looked around the shops and I bought a dress. Back at the house we finished the packing before getting in the car.

We drove to Catherine’s house and she had made us Pho 🍜 for lunch. We sat in the garden for a while and then Glen drove us to the airport hotel.

We checked in and organised our bags ready for our flight home tomorrow.

In the evening we went to the hotel restaurant for dinner.Leer más

Sore calves from walking yesterday. We went out for breakfast, yummy.

After breakfast we drove to another walk. This one was along a ridge so up and down but nothing major. It took about an hour each way.

The sun was shining and hot so it was taking a lot of effort.we saw black cockatoos and water dragons.

We came back and had lunch and relaxed in the afternoon. In the evening we went to Katoomba for pizza and drinks in the Carrington Hotel.Leer más

Glen made us breakfast and we set off at 9am. We drove back to where we were last evening and parked up. We then set off down into the valley. Down and down. As we descended the plants changed and became green, more like NZ plants. We walked along the valley, under water falls and over stepping stones. We saw some Yabbies. After a while we started to walk back up. Up and up. At the top Glen and I went back to the car while the others walked back.

When everyone was back we had lunch. We then went to look at some different view points and took the dogs with us.

In the evening we went to the pub for dinner.Leer más

Back in the southern hemisphere for the first time in a long time.

2 hours sleep, short flight, and a seat kicker.

We landed early but got stuck on the runway with no gate available. Eventually we made it off the plane and through immigration. Bag collection and customs was a faff, worse than Auckland but we got through and met Catherine.

We drove to Claire and Glen’s house at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. After a cuppa we went to the pub for lunch. I had Barramundi which was tasty.

We went back to the house and got changed and drove to the National Park and went for a few walks.

We then drove to a different place to look for Lyre birds but there weren’t any.

We had risotto and wine for dinner and Buster the dog got to come to bed with us.Leer más

Singapore to Sydney
9 de enero, Singapur ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
We woke to another grey day and had breakfast in our room.

We packed up and checked out at 10.30am and caught the train to the airport. We walked to The Jewel 💎 and checked into our day room at Yotel.

We went for lunch and shopping around The Jewel before watching some TV and relaxing in the afternoon. We dropped our cases at the Jewel check in which made life a little easier.

In the early evening we had our showers and checked out. We walked over to Terminal 3 and went to duty free to get some perfume.

We eventually boarded the flight to Sydney for the 7 hour flight.Leer más

We got up to find it had stopped raining. We went to the mall and had kaya toast and eggs for breakfast and then caught the train and bus to River Wonders.

We spent a few hours walking around looking at the different fish and animals before returning to City Hall MRT.

We went to the supermarket and got some supplies and then walked back to the hotel.

In the area we sorted out the luggage ready for our flight to Australia tomorrow.

In the evening we walked to Raffles for Singapore Slings but the queue to get in the bar was so long we decided not to bother.

Instead we went back to our hotel room and had salad and beer. We know how to live it up!Leer más

Singapore Day 2
7 de enero, Singapur ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
We woke up to rain, lots of rain. We caught a bus to as close to the Gardens by the Bay as we could but it wasn’t very close. We walked and walked through the Marina Bay Sands hotel, and walked. We reached the shuttle stop and decided to get the shuttle. Closed due to inclement weather, yes that’s why we wanted the shuttle!

We sat and waited for the rain to ease but it didn’t so we walked. We reached a Shakeshack and had burgers for breakfast.

We had dried out a little by the time we’d eaten breakfast so we went to the cloud dome and spent a few hours walking around looking at the different plants. We came out and had a drink before going into the flower dome and looking at the baobab trees and other plants.

We then made our way to the tree grove but the walkway was closed due to the weather so we walked back to the MRT and returned to the hotel.

We dried off and went for burritos for lunch and then walked around the shops at Bugis.

In the evening we walked down to the river front and had some Vietnamese food for dinner.Leer más

Singapore Day 1
6 de enero, Singapur ⋅ 🌩️ 29 °C
I had the bright idea of going to Parkrun this morning. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while but couldn’t last time due to COVID restrictions.

We got up early and got a grab to the east coast car park where we had the briefing. At 7.40am we set off. The Singapore heat and humidity didn’t make it easy but we both managed it.

We got a grab back to the hotel and had showers and breakfast.

We then caught a bus to the botanical gardens and walked around the National Orchid Garden for a few hours. The flowers are spectacular.

Afterwards we went for lunch spa cafe in the gardens and then caught a train back. After more showers, water and cuppas we walked to a laundromat to try to deal with the washing from the last 2 weeks.

For dinner we had leftovers from yesterday.Leer más

Johor Bahru to Singapore
5 de enero, Malasia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
After not a great night’s sleep, we had not a great breakfast. Our last hotel breakfast of the trip.

Our grab came quickly and dropped us at the train station. We followed the signs to Woodlands, the Singapore side of the crossing. We reached a point where we had to ask for directions only to find we were in completely the wrong place. Not normally a major issue, except this time we had cleared Malaysian immigration. We were‘escorted’ to a customs office where we handed over our passports and an official checked us back into Malaysia and directed us on our way. We walked all the way back where we had come from and found a tiny sign saying to Singapore.

Eventually the gate opened and we went through immigration to wait for the train. When it arrived we all scrambled on board for the 5 minute journey across the strait to Singapore.

At the other side we got off and went through Singapore immigration and customs before exiting the station. After being told to get off a bus and walk, we managed to find a bus that would take us to the MRT station. It turned out to be a long way and walked wasn’t really an option, despite the rude bus driver’s advice.

We found the north south line and caught the train to city hall station. We then walked a short distance to the Peninsula Excelsior hotel where, unusually, they let us check in early.

After a cuppa, we went downstairs to the shopping mall and stuffed our faces with the first salad since we left Japan!

We then caught the train to Chinatown and walked round before coming back to the hotel to cool off and relax.

In the evening we walked to the sunset and bought salad, bread and reduced price Stilton for dinner.Leer más
