As we had nothing on today (other than flying out), and a 12.00 checkout, we had a nice sleep in.\u00a0 Once checked out, we left our bags at the hotel and went for a walk to get some food.<\/p>\n
We went back to the hotel to get our bags, and then caught a taxi to the High Speed Train station.\u00a0 We still had some spare time so we walked around and intended to do some shopping – but there was nothing practical to buy!\u00a0 So we caught the train to the airport.\u00a0 The high speed train was a slow one – we only hit 300 kph!\u00a0 It was amazing how quickly we got to the airport, considering how long it took to get from the airport when we arrived.<\/p>\n
Once checked in we explored the airport for a while.\u00a0 In typical form, on an afternoon flight, that gets us to Singapore about 10.00, allowing Brett < 2 hours before his flight to Melbourne, the plane was delayed.\u00a0 Eventually we boarded, but were told we can’t go due to other delays, so spent another 40 minutes sitting on the plane but still at the gate.\u00a0 Finally we were given clearance and we took off.<\/p>\n
Once we arrived in Singapore, Brett had about 20 minutes to change planes.\u00a0 So we said goodbye, and I caught a taxi to the hotel.\u00a0 As I walked in to the hotel, I heard somebody say “Aah -Datascore”.\u00a0 It was Tim dropping off the laptop to be used at the stadium in Singapore, and he had seen the sign I was carrying.\u00a0 So we sat down and had a chat.\u00a0 Eventually Tim left, and I could check in.\u00a0 Unfortunately there were no King sized bedrooms on a non-smoking floor – so I had to take a room with 2 singles.\u00a0 I was quite surprised when I saw the room – it was very poor.\u00a0 But it was late.\u00a0 I needed to unwind so after putting my bag in my room, I went for a walk and had a beer in a bar.\u00a0 Eventually I went back to my room and called it a night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
