Singapore










SO arrived late last night in Singapore, The Lion City, (not sure why) and spent the evening eating noodles in our prison cell like room! Trying to get to grip with chop sticks in preperation for the next month! You will also all be interested to hear the momentus news that Deirdre has developed an addiction to a vegetable..those who know me will know that I have previously been averse to all things green and good for me! Tis all Dave's Aunt Maire's fault....she made me eat the sweetcorn!! and now I'm like addicted eating eat practicaly every day! anyhoo the point of this tangent was to say that they are none stop eating it here in their noodles ..yeah me!

Spent the day on Sentosa Island which is an island off the coast of Singapore Island. Big military significance in WWII as it protected shipping in Singapore Harbour..large military base, guns etc on the island. When the Japanese took over Sentosa they established a POW camp there so t'was quite interesting to see all the museums, forts etc....Even got a pin for your flack jacket Dad!


Nowadays Sentosa is a touristy island with aquariums etc where you can pet pink dolphins..(yes they are pink)!!
