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…

Next week I am going to Australia for a month to stay with some very special people.

This won’t be my first visit to Oz as I lived there for a year in  1977/78.  Then I lived in Queensland, first in Surfers Paradise and later on  Lindeman Island on the Barrier Reef.  It was a wonderful year and I fell in love with the country.  Now as I plan my return – this time to Adelaide in South  Australia – I wonder how different it will be after 35 years!

I plan to try and blog my journey which starts at Heathrow, then a couple of days in Singapore before heading off to Adelaide via Melbourne.  Hopefully I will meet some interesting people en route, have some exciting new adventures and, most attractive at the moment, some SUNSHINE!
