Day 1 in Singapore

After a 15 hour flight with a stop in Munich (where Helen found the smoking room!)  We have finally arrived in Singapore 8am local time.

We took a taxi from the airport and made the mistake of talking to the driver who proceeded to invite us to his massage place, and gave us his number for us to call him if we needed anything - this was after we had said we were together   He was odd to say the least and we were glad to get out of his car

On arrival at the hotel our bags were whisked away by the concierge and our jaws dropped as we entered the main hotel lounge.  This was not our check in area as we had booked a Horizon Club room and we were escorted to the 24th floor.   All checked in by two of the nicest men ever and we went to our room which I can only explain as heaven with views across Singapore and a bath room the size of my living room complete with two sinks plush is the word!!

The jet lag was starting to kick in and we slept in a bed big enough for 5 for 2 hours - waking refreshed we showered in a shower that could hold 7 people!!

We ventured to the lounge were we had complimentary tea, coffee juice and scones.  Off we went to the shops on the courtesy bus.  How many shops we said!!  All the names you can think of including a M&S....

Its hot, hot, hot and we welcomed the air conditioned shopping malls.  After a few hours we returned to the hotel to the lounge for complimentary cocktails and have just sat with the nicest couple Peter and Wendy from Eastbourne who were returning tonight after 8 weeks away.

Peter is a GP so we bemoaned the NHS etc and partook of tiger beer, wine and nibbles.

Just got back to the room were our bed has been turned down and fresh flowers put in the room. We are trying to stay awake right now and are off out for another walk.

See you!!
