Quiet day recovering

Eventually persuaded Jenni to get up at 11:00am after insisting she would not lie in – hehe.

We had a very gentle day getting over being dog tired from the travel. Very proud we were able to stand having just a fan rather than opting for the aircon overnight.
We had some lunch with Ally and the kids and then headed off for the pool. It is really exactly like being on holiday. It is a great privilege to have such a lovely pool onsite.

Then a dramatic sortie to the supermarket to get the essentials we had forgotten. Wishing we had got them at the airport as the prices for basics are as warned very high indeed. The supermarket was only 500yds away but it still felt very brave with 3 kids. Going to have to get ourselves sorted before we depart for Mersing at the end of the weekend. It is hard to believe 3 days of our time away has passed already.

Great thunderstorm in the morning too to take some of the heat out of the day.

27th June – Singapore jet lagging

I am sitting with Luke helping him with his journal after an interesting (read restless) nights sleep. Susie and Emma struggled to settle which meant I was able to help them. Having said that I don’t feel like death warmed up just yet. It is predictably sweltering but the sun is not even out today. We have so much acclimatatising to do! Everyone else still asleep. I am worried they are dehydrating as I have drunk a litre or so of water so far to stave off headaches. The view from the apartment is amazing. 34 floors up the business district and the port make a great backdrop and there is always something going on. We tried the swimming pool last night and it really feels like we are on holiday. Still hard to believe that we have so much more holiday time coming up. Venturing off on our own seems still a bit too brave and I am really grateful that Tony and Ally are here and have made us feel so welcome.

Hoping to mooch about a bit later to get my bearings. Will take the camera and pop some images up.

Help everyone is doing well and look forward to posting more updates later.

Actually I did take a pic using the iPad late last night to get a feel for the vista.
