We woke up at 6.30ish, our earliest start yet. After showers and packing all our stuff up again we headed down for breakfast. I chose the pancakes to keep me filled for the journey. Next we checked out of the room and waited for our tour guide to pick us up from the hotel. We also agreed to settle our bill, including the train and trip when we got back. We set off on the 3-4 hour bus journey around 8.30, the tour guide spoke reasonably good English, and the 16 ...

We woke up around 8.30 and headed to breakfast after a shower. This is included and wasnt too bad. We also talked to one of the hotel staff that advised us to visit the Ho chi min mausoleum before 10.30 as it closes. So we ate up and she got us a taxi there. We ended up arriving dead on 10.30, but also ended up in the Ho chi Minh museum by accident, by the time we realised the mausoleum had closed.. We saw the nearby one pillar pagonda, and walked around the are...

Arrived around 1am and jen was waiting at arrivals to welcome us. We took a taxi back to her house and had a short tour before putting our laundry in the machine.

A fairly tropical storm, as the weather had predicted. Consequently we took our time with breakfast and getting rea...

So we start in Singapore, jen woke us up early and we got ready by 11am. We weren't too hungry so a quick try of mooncake was all we had for breakfast. After packing our things we got a quick look at the phantom, unfortunately we wernt allowed to go for a drive since today was the new drivers first day, and he wasn't trusted with the rolls yet.. :( However he was able to drive us around :), driver took us to the Singapore island country club. This is where je...

We planned to wake up early.. Sam even set his alarm for 9.30am, but forgot to turn the volume up! So we actually woke up at 10am and just about managed to check out by 12 midday. We took a stroll through the market near time square; Isha managed to haggle a for an umbrella, saving about 20p haha. Met Ron at the exit to the mtr, and headed to mi-ne sushi.. Quite a nice place and filled up for lunch. Particularly enjoyed how all the staff, inc the chef, shouted ...
