Our flight from Hobart to Melbourne was fine, slightly delayed, but we arrived at our Hotel before midnight. A 6am wake up call. We had breakfast and then off back across the road to the airport. That flight was also delayed. Lunch was served as we were flying over Alice Springs. The food was really quite good (perhaps I was just hungry). We were met at Changi Singapore airport and driven to our Hotel in a Luxury Limo. Very nice!!! The extra leg space was lovely after nearly 8 hours in the plane. And so now here we are in Singapore. It is a very clean, prosperous looking city. We are yet to go for a walk and get our bearings - a cup of coffee and a lay down was what we needed most. It may take us a few hours to get used to the 30plus temperature. There is a lovely walk along the river to China Town we may take this evening when it cools down. At least we have till 8pm tomorrow night to discover more of Singapore.
Went for a lovely walk around the Clarke Quay area. Many restrauants to choose from along the edge of the river. A very popular place.

Headed off to find Orchard Road (the shopping heart of Singapore). It was quite hot and we were glad to get there and go into the air-conditioned shops. It was quite impressive area full of exclusive and top label brands - not the sort of place I go to shop. Hard to justify $2,000 for a pair of shoes.

We found a Starbucks and had a coffee and a nice sit in the cool. With our batteries re-charged we headed back towards the Clarke Quay. We found a little cafe called 'Murphy's' and had some lunch. Batteries fully recharged now and so off back to the hotel. Along the way I found a couple of tops that fitted into my normal spending range. Rest time. We'll head out and get something light for tea before we are picked up at 8pm to head off to the airport. Tonight we head-off to Budapest with a stop on the way in Munich.
