Two nights and one day in Singapore - where it was 32 deg and not even sunny!!! Very humid. But an amazing city where old and new buildings mingle together. We just had to sample a Singapore Sling cocktail (or 2) at Raffles … little did we know they cost AUS $ 29 each!!! (approx £14 each). Anyway .. they were rather nice! Raffles is a fantastic building - you could just imagine the wealthy in years gone by in their posh dresses enjoying a Singapore Sling or two and dancing the night away.
We walked to the river and took a boat trip before heading back to our hotel. The night time market was a great experience - some odd smells, hundreds of people and loads of stalls selling some amazing handbags. J
Saturday morning we flew to Perth where John (my cousin) met us to bring us back to their home in Mandurah. Weather a bit cooler - about 21 deg - just nice. Amazing to see parrots in the back garden coming down for their daily pieces of apple.
Sunday we went to the local church with John and Judy’s daughter, Janine, and her daughter Eleisha - it was Father’s Day - and the service was taken by the youth - it was totally fantastic! A powerful message about how God can transform sinful, messed up people into beautiful creations as He intended us to be - all illustrated by a guy actually riding his motorbike into the building and down and round the aisles. A father’s day competition including ironing shirts, flower arranging and chopping vegetables; lively singing; a really friendly welcome and to finish it all off - a ‘sausage sizzle’ sandwich. What more could we ask for??!!!
