Slinging our hook

Well its been a few days since we've been able to find a PC.

We are now immersed in the oldest rainforest in the world (say with a Jeremy Clarkson emphasis) going back 135 million years.

Singapore seems a distant memory now! We do not miss the heat or humidity, arriving at Cairns to a 25+ deg heat was cold for us and refreshing. Singapore felt safe, the culture is discrete and comfortable. We spent time exploring the city and the Sentosa Island. A jolly time was had with Brian (not Brain), our Sentosa Island guide finishing the day at the beach - even hotter than a UK swimming pool! Tom and I both enjoyed the enhanced view ;), but couldn't work out where she was from!

Our last day was mixed, started with a lie in and was followed by a packing session before heading into the city for lunch. I managed to find a replacement battery for my iPod after lunch and that is now working a treat. With not much else to do, we headed to the Carlton, Peter's hotel, to leave a message and was impressed with the surroundings, why were we in that converted flat Tom and not there? Singapore ended as it had started with a trip to Raffles and another Singapore Sling, not forgetting the peanut throwing!

Here comes the sun and Oz - bye for now!
