Singapore

















We are home, well-rested and tired. It was a wonderful two weeks packed with family and food, sightseeing and swimming, a complete break from our normal pace. With my sister at the wheel, we covered the length and breadth of the island, it seemed, from the zoo to water parks, cafes and shops, and incredible botanic gardens. My niece and nephews showered adoration on my girls, which left me with little to do but stretch out in their incredible home and enjoy the hospitality. I read. I knitted. I sweltered in the heat then retreated to airconditioning. I ate and ate and ate. And on the last day, finally, the monsoonal storm I'd been promised.

Tomorrow, pictures from our break within a break to Phuket.

  12. Fantastic. We've taken our 4 to Singapore a couple of times, we had tour buses stopping to take photos of our blonde twins, bit of a circus. Hey, saw Sally (Wol) at our school reunion a couple of weeks ago, so much fun, we're going to try to catch up in Toowoomba one day (of course i live in Canberra, just to be further away!!) Love Posie

  14. Looks like you had a lovely time. We are trying to decide whether or not it's a good idea take the kids (4,4 and nearly 2) on their first trip overseas. I had been thinking about Singapore. You may have persuaded me...
