A trip with a difference.

It’s that time again! Bags are packed and we are off. This time you are going to experience a cruise ( you’ve been on one, well I haven’t so you will just have to go on this one as well). The other half says it isn’t a cruise but a repositioning voyage as the ship relocates to the northern hemisphere for the northern summer. I just say the boatie is going from Singapore to England but we are disembarking in Lisbon.

Today we landed in Singapore ready to join the ship tomorrow. Like every country at the moment,it has been heavily affected by the coronavirus. All the streets normally teeming with people on a Sunday evening are quiet.

Our taxi driver said his income has gone from $80-$100 a day to $10-$20. When you consider his taxi would have cost $200,000 and has to be paid off, that is a huge loss in income. Only a certain number of cars are registered by the government each year so a taxi company pays a considerable amount of money to obtain and register a vehicle.

Enough gloom and doom….we did walk around to find a food court ……the only way to eat in Singapore and snapped these for you.

Anyone for a giant Chuppa chup

Or interesting art work….air conditioners?

Imagine living here

But these feet must keep walking as it is verrrrrrrrrry late in Sydney and bedtime. You will see the boatie ,oooops, I mean the ship tomorrow. Just letting you know, I have been warned that wifi is not readily available on the ship so you will have to wait till I get to shore to fill you in on your adventures ( in case you forgot what you did at sea🤣).
