Since Monday we've been all over Singapore - most notably up to the zoo, as well as taking tea in the Fullerton (a hotel made out of the old GPO in the centre of town, as well as eating well and going swimming!
Here's John exploring the zoo - and eventually finding an Oranutang:
As the week rolled on the girls became increasingly fond of John - although they also gave him some salutary lessons in sharing (by waving items he wanted out of his reach), and providing him with toys when daddy said he didn't want them ("please Erin, John's asleep - he doesn't want a pillow or a toy car right now" etc.).
On our last night at Simpson Towers, once Martyn had finished with his stories from his part in the Global War on Terror, he treated to some of his experiences of Korea. Apparently the guides love it when you tell them the military parades in the North 'are by far the best thing you have ever seen', but then are less keen on hearing that you are of the opinion the US Army will steamroller them in about two weeks, no matter how good they are at marching in time. We left with a long list of things to see and do in the South (John lives near to the worlds largest car plant apparently).
Flight from Changi at 0950 this morning - John was reasonable well behaved up until bedtime! He delighted the staff and diners in the Times Square restaurant website in, and I learned how to tell people I am vegetarian. Plus no blue rice this time.
I'll sign off with a lovely picture of John not paying attention to a 100 plus year old
