Singapore - Saturday 31 August and Sunday 1 September 2019

My room rate at the Capitol Kempinski includes champagne breakfast ! I didn't make use of the champagne on the work days, but I tried it on Saturday morning. And to balance it, I had a detox juice :-)


I then caught a Grab to Gardens By The Bay. I've been here before, but only at night and I hadn't been into the Flower Dome and the Cloud Dome. Cost SGD25 for both and was quite good...




Then headed back to La Pau Sat for lunch. Then caught the MRT back to the hotel. As I'm paying for tonight myself, I'm switching to a cheaper hotel - Parkroyal on Pickering. It's really nice too. Spent the afternoon by the pool and had a nap...



That night headed to a bar I wanted to try called Smoke & Mirrors, on top of the National Gallery. Easy 20 minute walk over the river...


Passed the Old Hill Police Station on the way, just near Clarke Quay...


It's a lovely night. Warm with a light breeze. View from Smoke & Mirrors...


Caught the light show...


Sunday I had breakfast in the hotel. Another huge buffet ! Then caught a Grab to the aiport for my 1255 flight. Very quick and only SGD18. Wandered around Terminal 4 which is the newest one, and then waited in the Cathay Lounge.

Easy flight back and watched Rocketman which I really enjoyed. Journey was spoiled in HK as the protesters were disrupting the roads around the airport as they are no longer allowed inside the airport. I spent 2 hours in the taxi rank and then 4 hours in the taxi ! Outrageous...

Melbourne - June 2024

Had to go to Melbourne for work. Flew on the Monday morning and straight to the office. After work I checked in to Voco and crossed Lonsdale...
