The last 2 days have been spent in Singapore.  Once we departed the ship we went on a quick tour of the island before checking into our hotel which is excellent. We’ve done the hop-on hop-off tour for a day and a half and have seen loads.  A nice feature is many of the hotels [...]

This is the last of our at sea blogs as we depart Cambodia for our final destination of Singapore. After I last posted we went to watch the magicians escape act and in my eagerness to get a front row seat I ended up being dragged up front to help with the chaining and checking [...]

We are 6 days into our Far Eastern adventure. The first 2 and a half days were spent in the bustling city of Shanghai.  We checked in to the Hyatt on the Bund hotel and it was seriously impressive – Kathryn wants to model our next house on the hotel room!  The first night we [...]

Yes it’s as sore as it looks.

Since I last blogged a few things have happened. Kathryn and her mum completely redecorated the living room but alongside that I have removed my fishtank.  The fish were all succesfully rehomed – albeit following a stressful weekend of fish capture, tank draining and heavy lifting.  The tank itself and everything else has been put [...]
