Yes, in fact we've arrived. After leaving our respective parents teary-eyed at security at Gatwick, we swiftly boarded our shiny Emirates plane ready to start our voyage. The flight was fairly uneventful, helped along by a good choice of films and music as well as the 5* cuisine (ish). After a short stop in Dubai, where neither of us had any money, we boarded our connecting flight to Singapore and i think the magnitude of the trip actually started to hit home. We landed slightly early in Singapore and, other then certain questions being raised about someone's trip to Argentina, we passed through customs quickly and found ourselves finding room for our bags on the train. Our first hostel is pretty cool, except maybe the rather...old fashioned... toilet (to put it one way.) Feeling rather exhausted from our journey we took it easy this afternoon, strolling around the streets and into the various shops and "flea" markets before heading back towards the hostel stopping off for a very modestly priced supper. Plans for the rest of our time in Singapore...SLEEP!!!

so you arrived early with no satnav - must be Tom's influence! I must be naive but was not aware that playing hockey in Argentina should give cause for concern to customs officers - but at least chocolate and biscuits don't cause a stir.
ReplyDeleteHave fun - look forward to hearing more

Glad to hear you arrived safely and managed to find your hostel. I was surprised and delighted to find you had posted something on the blog already. Hope your flight to Vietnam goes ok.
