Singapore

Arrived in Singapore after a very long flight from Rome. We got no sleep in the 12 hour flight, but watched plenty of movies. Picked up from the airport at 6am by Tim and Shona and brought back to Woodlands House, correction Woodlands Mansion! What a beautiful home build back in the 30's with high ceilings and large rooms in 30 degree heat and high humidity! Jen promptly fell asleep on the bed and the rest of the cast got on with the show. Sleeping beauty!

We then went to the Aussie club to watch the Wallabies play Ireland, heh, heh, heh!!! Oh the joy! Must not gloat. Cannot help myself! We then went out to dinner at a local Thai restuarant to rejoice heh!, heh!

Sunday, slept in late and awoke to a cooked breakfast. Attended mass at the local Military church and then it was off into the city. We were amazed at the changes in the city from our last visit in 1996. This was a dramatic contrast to the historic old buildings of Europe to the modern urban jungle of Singapore. Bad timing on my part with the Formula One race occuring this Saturday, however

we did manage to drive on parts of the race track!

We managed to get tickets for the stage production of the "Lion King" and we will let you know the outcome in the next blog. We then had dinner in the historic Singapore cricket club and watched our beloved Liverpool get hammered.

Monday awoke to a magnificent thunderstorm and rain, but managed to visit Singapore Zoo for Jenni as I do not like Zoos. Looking forward to the show.
