I know it been months since we posted (sorry) but it's time to finish the travel blog and get us home to Brisbane. I left us sitting in Abu Dhabi Airport awaiting what turned out to be an excellent flight to Singapore, Jane bagging a row of 4 seat to lie across and grab some sleep while I watched Citizen Kane, again, on the movies. Singapore at midnight, and a short taxi ride to stay with an old friend. Bianca was as welcoming as ever and we talked for a few hours about life and our dearly missed Martin, before a wonderful bed and sleep.

| Dinner at Keppel with Bianca and Judy. |
We have a free day and Singapore, so what do you do - go shopping! Try a laksa in Tangs, not as good as it used to be, later a swim and great chinese meal at the soon to be demolished Keppel Club, and then back to sit for an hour in the awesome massage chair. Sunday the next day, so off to church, hundreds singing in a packed new catholic church. After breakfast we go to look at the new casino / shopping complex, massive and busy. View from the roof terrace was worth the $20 entry charge! And one of the sights just below, was Marina Square, where I learned about project management the hard way in the 1980's when we were living an working in Singapore. See bottom photo below.

Home, shower, pack and off to the airport for the last of the 15 flights, and still no lost bags!
Bye Bye Singapore - Hello Brisbane.......hello Duty Free, last chance for all the usual beer and fags and lipsticks - then staggering through Immigration (but I did get my passport stamped to prove I had been away.....)

Then via the sniffing hounds of Customs and into the arms of Tom who was there to pick us up - and take us on to the "next new thing" - apartment living in New Farm.
