Hey!!!! Ok it's been a little while again so I have to try and remember everything!!
We had our last day in Cairns, we went for our free dinner in Rhinobar, there was a bar crawl going on in there. OMG!!! it was mental just loads of young people going mental (oh the difference afew years and looking at things from a different perspective makes!!) Some guy was stood up on a stool filming everyon dancing on the stange and he fell off but the stool landed on some girls foot, it was blatantly broken, her foot was all mishapen and swallen in seconds, Tom went over and said she should get it x-rayed but she insisted that it was just a bad bruise as thats what the bar staff told her!! YEAH RIGHT!! Anyhoo we had a reasonably early night as we had to be up at 3am as we were flying at 5am.
5am came and went and we eventually got to Sydney where you guessed it, it was bloody raining!!! Tom said right that's it I'm going to Thailand so we followed suit we booked our flight to Perth, and brought our flight to Singapore forward, Tom booked a flight straight to Phuket. We didn't really do alot, took Tom into Sydney so he could see all the sights in the rain, then we stayed in our room as the hostel was sooooo clicky, prob sisn't help that we got a french couple chucked out of the room as they hadn't checked out and wanted to stay but hadn't told anyone, not really our fault but they we're frothing and think they blamded us anyway and they seemed to be in with the crowd.
We got up checked out and had some breakfast on the beach front and had a little wonder around Manly. We put Tom in a taxi, then the sun came out for abit!!! pretty boring day to be honest just waiting around for flights and stuff. We got to Perth domestic airport and there was no hostels available so we got a taxi to the international airport, it was about 10:30pm our flight wasn't until 1:05pm the next day so we fell asleep in some eating area on a padded seat which was surprisingly comfy!!! We woke up at about 5:30 surrounded by people, always disturbing!! So we phoned home to use up our credit as the phones would cost a fortune from here out! We got our flight out and landed in Singapore, managed to get booked in somewhere, although the room was tiny you could stretch out and touch each wall at the same time!! We had an early night and enjoyed sleeping in bed and having 2 pillows!!! LUXURY!!
Singapore eh!! It's just another big city but it has a good vibe about it. We went to Sim Lim which is the big electronic shopping mall, you go into one shop work out what you want, then ask for a price, then ask for a discounted price, then tell them you'll think about it, then go next door, ask for the same make and model and what price they'll give you, tell them next door would give you whatever price they gave you minus an extra $50 and see whay they give you. You do this for ages as there is 6 floors!! We got a nice camera. We headed for Orchard Road, big posh malls full of Prada, Gucci, D & G, etc, etc. Of course we couldn't afford any of this stuff!! we went to a food mall and got these lush kebab things, 2 just chicken breast, 2 chicken and green pepper, 2 bacon wrapped around asparagus, it was dipped in a sauce which they told me is called Sakatori - totally delish!!! We headed back to our room to chill for abit, then we went out to Raffles Hotel, well posh, Paul was excoted out of reception cause he didn't have full legnth trousers on, teehee. We finally found the long bar where you have to go to get a Singapore Sling, in here you have to make a mess they encourage it, you get a box of monkey nuts and you have to eat them and throw all the shells on the floor or the table, the place was covered in them!! The Singapore Sling was actually really nice, had to be for the price!!!! we only had the one then left to see the big wheel thing, which is next to the night time F1 race track which Paul wanted to see but you can only see the outside unless you go up in the wheel but the drinks wiped us out!! So we had the long walk back and hit the sack.
Up early again to check out, today we fly to Phuket, meeting up with Tom again although we have no idea where he is and can't remember the name of where we all said we would stay!! Ooops!!
