Sydney Airport

February 16th, 2008

It's 7:00am and we're at Sydney Airport (what a dump) on our way to Christchurch - last leg before we start our holiday proper.  Can't wait!  We spent yesterday at Darling Harbour watching the celebrations for the Chinese New Year - great fun.  

I'm arranging to have your pa electronically tagged - I keep losing him and, of course, he wouldnt hear any loudspeaker announcements.  Great fun there as well!!  We almost missed our flight at Changhi Airport the other day!

Weather here is cloudy but warm.  Not as humid as Singapore, thank goodness.

Speak to everyone soon.

Changi Airport

February 15th, 2008

We're at Changi Airport at the moment, waiting for the flight to Sydney (overnight - 7.5 hours - ugh).  We've been in Singapore for 24 hours now - an amazing, vibrant city with such flowers and trees - but my God has it been hot.  When we're out in the street, it's like walking through a tropical greenhouse and someone wacking you with a hot flannel.  Exhausting!

Hoping that Sydney is cooler and fresher.  We had a fabulous hotel and even managed to have tea at Raffles Hotel!

Speak to you soon.
