Did I say I was over shopping? apparently not. But I haven’t bought any chocolate the whole time I’ve been here so I haven’t been totally bad. Before we went on a shopping splurge (or attempted to) we went to Sentosa Island. What an extraordinary display of crass commercialism. Everything you did cost something – except for walking, but depending on where you were walking, even that cost sometimes. I even managed to entice Chris onto the Luge. You can see how much he enjoyed it from the photo. We thought that, after the zoo, visiting underwater world might be pretty impressive too, but it was a disappointment. Too many fish, too little room.

We’re at Changi Airport at the moment – I managed to get on a free internet terminal but time’s running out – 9 mins to go so I’ll have to make this short and sweet. We’re almost ready to fly out to the Maldives so I may not be inclined to write very much. Oh, who am I kidding – a week of relaxation? I will be climbing up the walls with boredom. The internet will be my lifeline. Thank god for wireless access in the hotel room 🙂
