Day 46: Australia to Singapore

We got up fairly early and got everything packed, leaving our tent and camping gear with Sarah to find a use for them! We drive back down into Perth for breakfast at Zamia, the cafe in the heart of King’s Park where Sarah and David both work.

After a good feed, we said our farewells and took a wander around the park. We walked up the DNA tower, took a few photographs of Perth, and then took to the roads for one last time and made our way to the airport.

We were flying direct to Singapore with Singapore Airlines and were very impressed by the food (a nice beef curry) and drink (lovely Singapore Sling), and enjoyed Juno while we ate. Also watched the nonsense of Hitman…

Our onward flight to Cambodia was not until the following morning, so we had booked into the Transit Hotel overnight. The hotel is comfortable, like a basic Travelodge, and is airside – perfect for long transfers. We almost didn’t want to go to bed – Singapore airport is a fantastic place; free PS3 and Xbox 360 stands, free internet, sunflower garden and a free cinema (although the cinema in our terminal was being refurbished).

We used the free internet to transfer some money around – and by the time we had done this we were tired and grumpy and glad to have a bed to go to. It was a bit cold in the room, so a call for more blankets was required and we then slept pretty well.
