Day 5 and Day 6 Singapore

I thought there wasn’t a lot to type for day 5, and day 6 separately so I decided to merge the two days together. There won’t be a lot of pictures I am afraid. Today we went to the IMM outlet store at Jurong East. As nothing opens before 10 we took our time this morning and […]

Day 4 Singapore

The days are speeding by now – we only have a few days left in Singapore this leg and then we are off to Phuket. Jayenne and Peter will arrive Monday night (15th) and we will catch up with them for breakfast on Tuesday. We meet the rest of the gang on the plane to Phuket. We […]

Day 3 Singapore

Today we have a big day ahead of us. We are heading to Palau Ubin – the last village of Singapore. This is a little island off the coast of Singapore. Our guide Keith has been texting this week to make sure we know where we are going and how we get there. The Parkroyal is next […]

Day 2 Singapore

Before I start – for Sandra Murray a photo of the Tintin keyring. Another early day and another walk around Chinatown. We managed to accidentally discover Maxwell Food Court which apparently is a must do – we will have to try it one lunch time. We had breakfast at the hawker centre behind the hotel again […]

Day 1 Singapore

After a bit of a restless night we both woke up about 4 am. We waited until 5:30 to go for a walk – we traced the route from Stu’s birthday night. As it turns out our hotel is next to the MRT station we came to before meeting Mum and Dad at Clarke Quay. We walked down […]

Travel Day Brisbane to Singapore

Today we are heading on our first long overseas holiday since COVID hit in 2020. We had Mexico booked for 2021 for my 50th, which became campervanning around South Australia and with state border closures became a week at Peregian. We did a drive to Yeppoon and Canberra while Australia’s borders were closed. Once Australia’s international […]

Day 9 – canberra

Today is our last full day in Canberra – tomorrow we are heading for Diamond Waters just south of Port Macquarie. We’ll be staying there for 2 nights before the final leg home. We visited mum and dad again today to pick up a couple of bits and pieces that won’t fit into their new […]

day 6, 7 and 8 canberra

It has been a busy few days here in Canberra – and when I’ve had some down time I have been a bit too tired to do my blog. On Tuesday (Day 6) we drove down to Braidwood a little town about half way between Canberra and Batemans Bay on the NSW south coast. We […]

Day 4 and 5 – canberra

Sunday was our final leg of the Brisbane to Canberra drive, and was the shortest leg. The roads have been amazingly quiet other than the last 100km when we came into Sydney, there haven’t even been too many trucks on the road either – I’m not sure if this is because of COVID or because […]

Day 3 – Sydney

We still seem to have our body clocks set to work mode – we were both awake by 4:30 this morning. Stu went for a run to discover that the Botanic Gardens are closed until later in the morning so he ran around the park and still didn’t get close to the Opera House. We […]
