Our Sunday drive from Beddgelert to the hotel was undertaken without difficulty even with a short deviation to visit the mediaeval walled city of Conwy en route. Mary navigated right into Manchester Airport with the help of the iPad and we soon found our way to the hotel by trial and error (it’s a maze of roads in there).
The car was checked back in with no damage, despite having done some 2000 miles and having dodged quite a few sheep on the way. And then we were settled into our room, feet up, ready for a good night’s rest before the 0910 flight on the morrow.
All proceeded well and early on Tuesday morning we landed at Singapore in a heavy tropical shower which persisted until after we'd arrived at our small hotel in Katong, ten minutes from the airport by taxi.
Here we were again happy to see that our early check-in, late check-out reservation had been noted and by 8:00 am we were into our tiny but spotless room, aircon going and rain pattering on the roof.
I wasn’t going to bother updating the blog, because Singapore, well, everybody’s been there, right? However Mary and I strolled down to the beach this morning for breakfast at Starbucks. I expected to see the beach covered in litter as it had been when we came through here about a month ago but to our delight it had been cleaned up. In fact a beach cleaning patrol was underway as we stood there, gawping.
I doubt that the picture of the badly littered beach I included in my blog at that time had anything to do with it, but you never know.
Anyway, back home to Brisbane on the overnighter tonight, departing in a couple of hours.
