Hi Everyone

Well we made it. I am currently staying with my big sister in London.

She has WebTV which has been a little tricky to use (no mouse). But all systems are go now.

So here is a run down:

After a rush to get out to the airport we made it to our Singapore airline flight.
The service was great and we arrived in singapore not to worse for wear. (Love having your own personal TV screen.)

Singapore has lots of tall housing estates which are built by the government to house everybody in such a small space. They a pretty ugly but seem to be kept pretty tidy. The motorways and roads are beautiful with big trees forming umbrellas over the road to create shade.

It is very hot and muggy. We went shopping on Thursday at Orchard Road. Unfortunately being the keen kiwis we are, we got there at 9.30 and the shops did not open until 10.30-11.00. Singapore runs on my sort of time!

We went down to a deserted quay on the river to try and find a city tour. Which was sold out. We were in urgent need of food and the only place open was a dirty and dingy chinese food hall. Very dodgy! We ate there feeling despondent.

We were looking through copious brochures when a lady from the tour company we had just visited offered us the competitors tour. She phoned them and booked us in, basically saving the day. (what she was doing with competitors brochures, phone number and stickers I do not know.)

Great to Sans and Scottie again. We have so far vistied the Hyde Park, Kew Gardens, Harrods, Windsor Castle, the Tower of London and a few other places. When we arrived in London the temperature was 25 degrees!!! But unfortunatley it is pretty chilly now.

I had better go, this e-mail is already far to long.

Look after yourselves.

Love from
The Radioactive Wench
