Changi

We checked out of fawlty towers at 9.15 and our booked ride arrived at  9.25. We are all glad we booked the ride and don’t have to drag suitcases around. We arrived at the airport within 45 mins thanks to our lead foot driver. Only one car passed us the whole way. While he was quick we never felt in any danger. Everything was smooth through the airport and it was the best signed airport in Italy. The plane was delayed an hour due to a passenger not turning up and then having to find and offload their luggage, didn’t worry us as we will have to wait for a room at the hotel. The Lugg’s had their premium economy seats and we and the Johnstones were down the back. Ann and I were lucky as we had a spare seat between us and we could spread out.  We arrived in Singapore just before 8am and progressed smoothly through customs and passport control. The first available shuttle to our hotel was 9.10, so we can relax for a while. The flight had a couple of bumpy patches but overall pretty comfortable.
The van to the hotel was tired and bumpy which caused Ann some anxiety about the quality of the hotel, particularly as we passed a hotel we had stayed in previously which was about a 1 star equivalent.
We arrived at the hotel and it is quite large and seems very nice. Air conditioning in the foyer is very comfortable. It is 9.45 and we now have to wait a couple of hours to get access to our rooms. It is quite warm outside and very humid, I am feeling pretty good as I had about 4.5 hours sleep on the plane, so I go for walk to check the surrounds while the others waiting the foyer. There is a large market area not too far away where there are many food stores selling Asian food and cold beers. We will be able to stock up when we get our rooms!
