I had slept really well and was awake just after 06:30. I read for a bit. Graham woke up just before 07:00. We got up and took turns using the very nice rainfall shower. Then we headed downstairs to breakfast. The breakfast buffet at the Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium had been perfectly nice, but the breakfast buffet…

We were up around 7:00 again and headed down for breakfast. We both had coffee. Graham had orange juice, and I had fruit punch. Graham had some assorted fruit, fried egg on toast and oatmeal. I had hoped for some more soup noodles, but they had the seafood broth again. Instead, I had what I thought might…

At some stage, it felt like we had an eternity in Singapore, but the last full day arrived all too quickly. We would have two more nights on Sentosa at the end of the holiday, but I was aware that this would be a different proposition from staying in the city. We were awake around…

Even though we had been in bed pretty early again, I slept through most of the night. I woke up at one point in the very early morning hours. I did not immediately settle back down. I read a couple of chapters and then I went back to sleep. The next time I woke up,…

I slept through most of the night. I woke up when they came round with drinks. Apparently, I had missed the snacks. I had some mango juice. We had about 90 minutes left until we were due to land in Singapore. I decided to play Trivial Pursuit. They had a watered-down version compared to what…

I had set the alarm for 5:45 and was awake just ahead of that time. I had a bit of a restless night. I tend to sleep in stops and starts before an early flight anyway. However, this time my body decided that it is a great time for a flare up for a chronic bowel…
