After another good nights sleep and some breakfast we had a whole day to fill in, which is always a pain when you have a night flight! Our checkout was at noon and the Austins managed to get their room until 2pm so they wanted to have a swim and kick back by the pool for the morning. Mumsie wanted to look at a particular make-up shop on Orchard Road so she and I got the MRT up to Somerset and went to the ION Shopping Mall, where we duly found the store. As I stoo...

Had a great sleep in this morning, and after a very leisurely brekky at a Coffee Club cafe in Raffles City we decided to head over to Sentosa for a look.

Carefully avoiding the rough area we encountered yesterday, we walked about a kilometre into the...

MONDAY 9th JULY 2012FRANKFURTLeisurely start this morning - packed up and checked out, a bit of a choke at the bar and washing costs on the bill! - then got a ten minute taxi ride to the station where we had some breakfast and went to the DB lounge (similar to the Qantas Club) where we relaxed and used the free wifi while we waited for our train!
