Greetings from Singapore!

Hi all. Just a quick note from Singapore. It is 7.20am here, the sun has just risen and it is already 26 degrees! I really like Singapore airport. They have free Internet, really friendly staff (their English is better than mine!) and everything is easily sign posted. I am feeling totally messed up in my time lines. It is 11.20pm at home, 12.20pm in New Zealand, 7.30 am here and I don't know whether I should be doing stuff or getting ready for bed. The first leg of the journey out Auckland went well. We left at about 1.10am in the morning (NZ time) and both the monster and I were exhausted after our exciting day so we got lots of sleep. It took us about 9 hours to get to Singapore. It is mad to think that it took us as long if not longer to drive from Wanaka to Kaikoura and the driving was more difficult, we couldn't sleep, we weren't plied with food, drink and hot towels and there weren't toilets in the car. We have to board our plane to Heathrow at 9am Singapore time. I don't know what time we get into London, probably about 4pm and then on to Dublin due to arrive at 7pm. It is great that our baggage has been checked all the way through (we were 5kgs over the limit - all those pressies!) and we have our boarding passes for the two connecting flights. Looking forward to seeing everyone back in the emerald isle soon. Ps, Michele - the days of Peleg is really good, meant to tell you earlier.
