Singapore

Clarke Quay, opposite our hotel. Singapore is very pretty.

En route to the zoo. Taxis are always a highlight for the kids. Not sure if the driver was too thrilled with Zach bellowing Justin Bieber continuously.

Daisy checks the water for crocodiles from the zoo boat.

The horse ride was a big hit.

So sedate, Rosie the horse fell asleep!

The zoo also had a splash play area. The kids loved it.

Baby orangutan overhead alert! So cute.

On the zoo tram. Me and the two big kids had an elephant ride just before this. We have no pics as Sebastian shat all over Andy just before the ride. Nice.

Tickle you under there! Sebastian gets to know his little cousin Ben.

Smile! But where's Flynn?

Oh, there he is!

Cool building in the background.

On the Flyer with Blake, Ness and kids.

Zach models his stripes on the Flyer.

Flynn, Zach, Daisy and Zac.

We had a fantastic five nights in Singapore. It was fab to see Blake, Adrianne and Flynn and meet baby Ben for the first time. He's gorgeous! It was also great seeing Ness, Bob and Zac. I even managed my first post Sebastian night out with Ness and Adrianne (with feeding pitstops), yay! We did lots of wandering, coffee and eating out. The kids loved the rain, fresh air and especially the zoo which was AMAZING. Having orangutans hanging overhead had us all gobsmacked. Can't say the flights were fun but they went ok, I actually managed a whole movie on one of them! We didn't take enough photos of everyone (and I have none of Adrianne who was looking amazing), boo.

School's out for summer!

Zach with his teachers, Lisa and Shinari.
Daisy with her teachers, Miss Collier, Mrs Reeve and Miss Queenie.

I left Sebastian in his buggy outside Daisy's classroom for a few minutes (top mothering!) and came out to find him surrounded by a gaggle of girls.

Oh the excitement! No more morning rush, no more lunchbox uninspiration. And tonight, Matthew, we are off to Singapore! Five night there then on the NZ for six weeks. Woooooooooooooo! Better keep packing.
