From Switzerland to Singapore

 Why do so many journeys begin so early in the morning? It actually wasn't THAT early, but as it was still dark when we departed for the train it felt ealry. Still, unike their neighbour's, Swiss trains arrive on time and we even arrived with enough time to check our luggage AND have a glass of prosecco pre-flight.

Airport cheers!

We were thrilled to realise when aboard that there was no one sitting with us, unfortunately a midday flight is not one where your body clock is ready to sleep all the way, even knowing the time difference at your destination.


We landed more or less on time and successfully negotiated the public transport system to find our hotel. Seem to have landed in the Red Light District (again) and I saw things in shop windows I didn't know were legal in Singapore!

A few extra dollars saw our room upgraded to delux (aka one with a fridge) and even better, one that was ready for us to check in so a power nap was next thing on the list before heading out for a late lunch.
