09.40 Manchester, 05.40 Singapore. Off plane and into terminal for a couple of hours. Next flight leaves at 08.50 and takes around 9 hours and 50 minutes to Auckland. Tried some Singaporean food- a little pastry called 'My Husband's Cake'. A bit weird. We couldn't eat anything else as we had been stuffed with food at breakfast on the flight in. My vegetarian breakfast had vegeburger, mushrooms and baked beans, fresh fruit salad, two rolls, marg, strawberry jam, orange juice and tea and Mother had apple compote with pancakes, a muffin (cake variety, not bread), jam, cream, butter, bread roll, juice, fresh fruit salad, tea and yoghurt! It was astounding we could still walk.
Wonderful night-time views coming in to Singapore; like fairy land with all the lights on the ships in the harbour.
Just taking off now at 09.00 Singapore time. Its 27 degrees centigrade and humid. We visited the butterfly house in the terminal 3 building. It was still a bit dark but we saw some stunning butterflies.
8417 kms to Auckland; time there 14.00.
Arrived a little early at 11.30pm but by the time we had cleared customs and biohazard it was about 1am. Just what you need after a nine and a half hour flight. Luckily Francis spotted us straight away in the arrivals hall. We were then chauffered by Fran to our accommodation at his friend's new house. They have built it with a two bedroomed annex which they are planning to let to paying guests as well as putting up their families. It is very swish. Set the smoke alarm off making some toast for supper, but didn't wake anyone up. Thank goodness. It is now 3 am or 14.07 on 25/1/10 UK time.
