Crisis averted. I have found my luggage scales....
After a good night's sleep and a leisurely breakfast, bags out and checkout for all to get on the coach for our final ride in Thailand. We say a fond farewell to our driver and some are even in tears saying goodbye to Joe, shat confirms to me how much they have appreciated him as our guide. We have been so very lucky having him as he has gone above and beyond every day, right from the get go.
We all got through check in easily and then through immigration. ought a couple of bracelets and have now managed to spend almost all my Thai baht. The time passed quickly enough and although our flight was late landing, we were only 5 minutes late taking off. It isn't a full flight so I had a three seat row to myself. We had a nice meal and were offered French Chardonnay so I was quick to accept that. I had 3 of my kittens sitting behind me and 2 in front of me. We were all drinking the wine and were very happy when the flight attendant offered us a second little bottle, and then a third!!! As our group were about the only Europeans onboard I suggested to the kittens to start talking with an American accent so that if they got rowdy we would be assumed to be typical loud yanks!
Our flight was a bit under 3 hours and as soon as we arrived we headed to the city tour booth and I booked our group on the 5.15 p.m. city lights tour. If you ever have a couple of hours to spare in Singapore airport I highly recommend the free city tour. We stopped at the Merlion by the harbour and were able to get off the coach for 20 minutes to have a wander and take photos. Then we went to Gardens by the Bay which was just fabulous. We only had 45 minutes there but the timing was great as it was just getting dark and the lights in the park and on the super trees came on. Breath taking!
Back on the coach and back to the airport where we have to go through Immigration again.
As we are in Terminal 2 we get the sky train to terminal 3 and most go in search of something to eat as it is now about 8pm. As I am one of the few with Singapore money I come in very handy to pay for coffees and meals for a couple of my kittens. I then have a bit of a wander and end up buying an elephant and a buddha Pandora charm. I then manage to find a pair of sunglasses that are polarized, light and fit me well, with the added bonus that they are 50% off so give the credit card another bashing. Catching up with all my little herd we go through the screening process again to our gate and this is now where I sit. the flight leaves at 11.30 so another hours to wait. I have given my kittens a 'Travel Survey' to complete about our Thailand trip. It will be interesting to see thier collective responses but I am pretty darn sure that there should be glowing responses all round, even from Frugal (who still won't be able to help herself without adding a list of criticisms but I'm expecting that so won't be surprised). This whole trip from start to finish has been exceptional. We have been blessed with great weather throughout, a brilliant guide and an itinerary that has ticked all the boxes. Hope you've enjoyed the trip as well - at least you haven't put on about 5 kilos though from all the eating we've done! My little herd are going to be my best ambassadors to encourage others to travel with us in future as they all want to know 'where to next?" And that is probably your question too.
Well the answer to that is.........
Top holiday!!! And yep ticked all the boxes and more. You can be my tour guide anytime!!!!!! Loved it all from my lounge room!!!!
