Hey everyone Today was 'museums and exploring' day! Naturally, we didn't have a lie-in (despite our sore feet) and got up early ready for another big day (and lots of free toast for breakfast). Today we decided to explore the buildings in Singapore and famous areas we hadn't been to yet. We began by heading to the National Museum, but after picking up the museum leaflet and realising it was pretty expensive, we decided to pass on this one and go elsewhere. So o...

Hey everyone Today was Botanical Gardens day! We woke up pretty early to get our lovely free breakfast (toast, toast, tea, toast...) and then headed out to the botanical gardens. This took longer than expected as it was really far from any mrt station, and we got a little lost... But by the time we arrived it had started to rain a little. Then moments after we arrived it started to rain REALLY heavily. Fortunately we found cover, had our lunch, but then weren't...

Hey everyone Today was Zoo day! We woke up, got ready, packed our bag for the day and headed out to meet Andrew and Alison.

It would be impossible to write about everything we saw at the zoo in this blog, as there was jus...

Christina slept for most of the 3 hour journey, and Alex listened to his ipod. We arrived at the Malaysia side of the border after a couple of hours, and that went smoothly (all we had to do was show our passports). A 5 minute bus ride later we arrived at the Singapore b...

Hey everyone Not very much happened today... Wait a minute, I mean: Today was 'not much happened' day! That's better. We got up pretty early (it's been happening far too often) so we could make the most of our last morning in PD. We decided to go to the lighthouse nearby, as apparently it had nice views and was a good walk. We set off in the usual almost unbearable heat (and in our hiking shoes) and headed into the edge of the rainforest just outside the reso...
