Kilometres Walked : Tuesday – 6, Wednesday – 11.3.

Thursday morning 31st August, 2023.

I know this is very late again. I’m slowly catching up😂.

Up and at it super early for breakfast then off we were to the airport for the final leg of our adventure. As much as we were excited to be heading home we were also dreading the flight to Singapore at 13 hours long. We had managed to book the extra legroom seats on this particular flight which definitely made things a little more comfortable but seriously I will NEVER sit on a plane for that long ever again. We have worked out that 8 hours is the absolute maximum flight we can cope with and we will also invest in noise cancelling headphones next time. (Can’t believe we didn’t this time round😳) Anyway first world problems aside we made it to Singapore, somehow lost a day somewhere over Europe and landed at Changi at 7.30 am on Wednesday after departing Heathrow at 11.55am on Tuesday. ✈️

Feeling completely shattered after very little sleep on the flight we stumbled through the motions at Singapore airport and made our way to our hotel to drop off the luggage. With a few hours to fill in before our official check in time we forced our weary legs out and about to wander around China Town. Singapore never disappoints. We always love stopping here. The people are lovely, the food is amazing, the flowers and gardens are outstanding and the architecture is beautiful. Singapore is either hot and humid or hot and humid and generally without fail it rains mid afternoon every day which is fantastic as it cools everything down. Trying to ignore the sweat trickling down our backs we meandered up and down the bustling streets enjoying the colourful shop houses that line them.

After a nice wander around and some lovely food at the Maxwell Hawker Centre we were finally able to check in and have a long awaited hot shower and lay down. We tried our best to stay awake but sleep over took us for the afternoon. Forcing ourselves back out of bed we headed out to our favourite Hawker Centre for dinner. Lau Pa Sat. Breathing in all those tantalising aromas we found some amazing vegetarian dishes and sat down to savour all the flavours. Feeling very satiated we sleepily made our way back to the hotel for a cold beer then bed😴

Thirteen hours later we jumped out of bed and raced downstairs for breakfast before we missed out!
