So it is now a week back at home, and it still feels a bit weird. Fortunately we have come back to find that Spring has well and truly sprung and the weather is not too dramatically different to what we have become accustomed too over the past three months. Perhaps the oddest feeling is waking up and occasionally wondering where I am and where the loo is. In this blog I want to try and sum up our holiday, and a few facts for those interested enough to want to kno...

Day 91 Singapore Last day and last blog, unless of course I write tomorrow about the flight, but I am expecting and certainly hopeful that all will go smoothly and there will be nothing worth writing about. I seem to have lost a day somewhere, I will have to go back and find it as I feel cheated. I could have sworn that we were away for 93 inclusive, i.e. if you count tomorrow when we return and on doing our contact numbers there was definitely 93 days but accor...

Day 90 Singapore I like Singapore, we had been told that it is sterile and lacks atmosphere; me, I just call it clean and pristine and I kinda like that.

I do...

Day 89 Bali to Singapore How typical - last morning in Bali and now its sunny. Forecast is for rain so obviously the weather forecast is as crap as back home; managed an hour around the pool though before we had to leave for the airport. So glad we ordered our taxi early as the traffic was worse than usual, completely gridlocked around Seminyak with cars double parked and just seemingly "abandoned" all over place. We finally made it to the airport though with...

Day 88 Bali Well Trish was as good as her word when she said Sudi would look after us on a day trip around the island. He picked us up at 8am, yes I know another early start, (we're beginning to get used to them now!), but he said we needed to start then to fit everything in. It seemed a bit extreme to me as Bali is not that big but then I was forgetting how long it takes to get anywhere with the narrow roads, number of cars and literally thousands of scooter...
