Singapore Aug 2014 - Days 13-14

Time to head back to Singapore for a night to break up our journey home. We get up, packed and have our last breakfast (steak and eggs of course!). Our flight isn't until 12:55 to no major rush. 

We get to the airport (returning to the scene of our mad panic last time when we realised we had no Australian visas just as we were checking in for our flight to Sydney!). I am pleased to say it wasn't so fraught this time. The only thing is our flight has been delayed a little but only for an hour so not too bad. 

Cool house in the airport!

Randomly there are WH smiths everywhere in Bali airport!

Before long we are ready to take off...

On our way to Singers. Very much looking forward to a night out with Cat and Erik tonight who we are also staying with. 

We fly over Nusa Dua where we stayed last time...

Cool picture of the mountain poking out from behind the clouds as we fly over Bali. 

More traveller types... Classic traveller uniform. 

We land at Singapore and head to Cat and Erik's place. Their place is absolutely gorgeous. An amazing condo with a huge pool, gym, tennis court and lovely apartment. 

After a bottle of Champers sat by the pool we head out for drinks and dinner. 

First stop is the Arab quarter which is a series of little steets full of resturant and bars. 

And of course a temple. Wouldn't be an Arab quarter without a temple. 

We go for a drink in a bar called Bar Stories which is a cocktail place without the menu. Each one is bespoke and they ask you loads of questions to provide a personalised cocktail. Very tasty. 

We then jump in a cab to the Marina to meet Cat who had been working late and go for dinner at a really cool Japanese restaurant called Kinki overlooking the Marina and back over Marina Bay Sands.

After a delicious dinner we head upstairs for drinks on the roof terrace. Great views. 

A very colourful picture with Erik and Cat. 

After dinner Cat has to leave us as she has a big day at work tomorrow so we head onto Bar Street, another really cool area with loads of bars (obviously!) and restaurants. Great to be taken around by someone who lives here. There really is more to Singapore than we originally thought in terms of night life. 

Not a great picture but the two buildings in front are condo's which has a 400 meter running track going around the outskirts of the roof. Not a bad location for a run! Beats a running machine. 

Preparing for a beer festival. 

We go for a load more drinks on one of the roof tops and then a lovely little bar full of expats which was great. 

At about 2pm we head back as Nat hungover on a 13 hour flight is not pretty!

In the morning we get up and head for  traditional Singapore breakfast at a little chain restaurant called Toast Box. 

The speciality is eggs that are barely cooked that you dip toast into which has  weird and wonderful jams and toppings on. Come to think of it it seems more traditional British than Singapore! We surely invented egg and soldiers!

Then it is time to head back to Changi for our long flight home. Good news is there is a Hard Rock at the airport! (No new glass though as it just says Singapore on it - annoying we trapsed across town to get my replacement glass now!). We grab a quick bite then board at 12:55. Unfortunately no A380 on the way home. Boo!

It's been a fantastic holiday and well needed relax. It has also felt like we have been away ages. Now it's time to put the blog back to sleep until our next adventure.
