Goodbye to Singapore And so it came to our last day in a city that we had few expectations of; the city the taxi driver urged us to leave straight away because it was boring, a destination that one travel agent said we 'shouldn't bother with'... Aside from the fact that our stopover broke up the journey to Perth with welcome rest from planes, Singapore had been amazing and we didn't want our time there to end. We found ourselves with a soft spot for the city an...

Universal Studios Up bright and early once again, we took advantage of the free breakfast once more which consisted of a random combination of foods. A quiche, some pasta in a tomato sauce (cold), a fruit salad (with ice in!) and the usual toast and cereal were on offer. After finishing brekkie, it was on to our final full day in the city. We spent our last full day in Singapore at Universal Studios which we think has only been open for a few months. Located...

The guy on the end of our row (the aisle seat) fell asleep, making it pretty tricky (impossible) to shuffle pa...

High flying in Singapore Desperate to prove our taxi driver wrong, after spending half an hour exploring the hostel, we headed out in to the city for a short walk - a short walk that would last five hours! At least it would work off all the food from the flight! Armed with a map of the city and some rough directions from the hostel receptionist, we opted to aim for the famous Singapore Flyer because it was Singapore's biggest landmark (think the Liverpool wheel...
