Where has the time gone?

Four weeks ago I set off on this adventure and have had an amazing time.  I have seen some fantastic sights, spent special time with some special people and – really important for a Pom – I have enjoyed sunshine and heat.

I’ve missed the snow, freezing temperatures and floods of the last month in the UK, and being in Adelaide I have been lucky enough to miss the bush fires and floods other parts of Oz have been experiencing.  Adelaide has a strange climate – one day it can be 44 degrees and everyone stays inside with the aircon on, and the next day it can be 24!

Too relaxed to blog!

So here I am, 3 weeks into my holiday in Oz and I haven’t blogged once.

It has been a fantastic trip so far.  My Qantas flight from London to Singapore was superb – but then I had treated myself to Business Class!  Then a wonderful couple of days at the Conrad Hilton where I was treated royally.

Singapore is an amazing city – full of high rise buildings and busy roads, but the main roads are all tree and flower-lined and you have a sense of space – and cleanliness – that you don’t get in many large cities.  The building with a rooftop like a surfboard sums up a laid back attitude in a bustling business city.

And then on to Australia and Adelaide, and a reunion with a very special family.  I think that deserves a separate blog…
