This journal is to give some tips and bits on travelling around OZ, highlighting the best and the worst of what to do.
Our trip began with a stopover in Singapore which was an interesting place where the people are lovely, most things are never far away and a taxi ride is never more than a few pounds if you are travelling in the city centre.
The heat will drain you leaving you tired and grumpy. You must remember to drink lots you don't appreciate how quickly you become dehydrated you become.
Top picks include: the new Singapore Flyer - were you can see fantastic views of Singapore and beyond, the chair lift to Sentosa, the New Asia bar at the Stamford Plaza which is free if you re staying there or at the Fairmont.
Our find is a place called Dempsey Hill - go to Jones for a late breakfast - utterly fantastic!
The Long Bar in Raffles famous for the Singapore Sling - I felt was very over rated but we still did it - its one of those tick the boxes.
Shopping - don't expect the bargains of the old days - we tried Orchard Road and Singapore Airport unfortunately with the weak pound it was probably just as cheap at home - if the pound becomes strong again then you might be able to spot a couple of good buys.
Our next stop is Sydney .....
