Currently 24.2C, 10:33am.

So our last day in Singapore was grand. Headed out to the airport and checked in about 9 hours early for our flight (they were a little surprised, but hey, saved some money on the old left luggage) and then went onto the Changi Chapel and Museum which is just next to the airport. All very interesting and informative, but I won't lie to you - war musems aren't really my bag.

We had a bit of time still to kill before the flight so Stu decided that we needed to go for some authentic hawker stall food before we left (probably feeling a bit guilty about our rubbishness in eating in the hotel the night before). So we hauled ass to this place called the Geylang Serai food market. It was a right old slog and very hot and I nearly lost the will to live, but whatever - once we got there the food was absolutely GORGEOUS. We had a load of chicken satay being unadventurous tourists, and then a Nasi Padang. Still couldn't tell you what was in it, but it tasted of heaven. We were the only tourists there - probably everyone else was put off by the fact that it was a filthy dirty food market for local people, but I loved it.

Our luck couldn't hold out for a third time on the plane unfortunately, so we cattle classed it all the way to Brisbane. But here we are safe and sound - I'll update on Brizzie stuff later as Stu is champing at the bit to get out and about.

Unadventurous tourists we may be eating Satay, but at 40c a pop that is a no brainer (in case anyone else reads this: 10 Satay at 4$ = £1.33. Not so really after all)
