7 am start to the airport, which was just across the road, but because of luggage we got shuffle to get there.
Wait of about an hour or so before boarding, my first international flight. Dealing with passports, customs, and showing of passports at every exit, which took up some time, and experienced a roller coaster of emotions, happy, nervous, excited.
Once on the plane all good. I was finally starting a new adventure. I enjoyed our upgrade to business class, no waiting in line to get on, that was very cool. Singapore I am on my way
As Bob said 8.5 hrs in the air, hmmm, food was good, and attendants were good. A little conversation with the lady sitting next to me was good. Played some games and watched a movie on my phone via the scoot net, until my phone went flat, then what.....
We arrived at Changi airport after we had to circle for 15 mins due to traffic congestion.
The taxi system getting from the airport is superb. They have numbered waiting lanes, and you are told which number to wait at, and just as you get there, taxi is arriving. Our driver was a chatty fellow and full of interesting information.
Robertson Quay motel was nice, with a good view from the room. Went for a walk, had tea at a local eating place where I had chicken and cashew and some fried rice and a Guinness stubbie. A stubbie over here is the equal of a tallie back home. We ventured on a river cruise and saw some wonderful buildings and rich in history. The design of buildings here is amazing. The lotus flower building springs to mind, which is the Science and Art muesum. We missed the light show they have as we had a very early start in the morning.
Back to the room where I faded fast.
