03/04.03.10 Auckland to Singapore

We left NZ with a heavy heart having thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were particularly sad to say goodbye to Sarina, David and Harry.
Today was to be long day flying from NZ via Melbourne and travelling through several time zones but eventually we touched down in Singapore and were soon on our way to our hotel on Sentosa Island.
We are at the Sentosa Spa Resort for 3 nights to soak up some sun and generally chill out. Thus this morning we had breakfast and made our way to the pool for a leisurely day. Having been dark when we arrived we had not seen the extent of the hotel and were amazed at just how large it was with lots of inner spaces with ponds, fountains, tropical trees and plants. The pool was enormous and well serviced with an attendant providing us with ice cold flannels on arrival and keeping us topped up with iced water for the whole of the day. We really did chill out, swimming, reading our books and people watching. We were kept amused by some peacocks which roam freely in the grounds, a white one, a couple of males and a female with the tiniest chick. Fortunately this morning the sun was not too hot although it did get much hotter in the afternoon and reached about 90 deg although it wasn’t quite so humid.
