It was already our last day in Bali, so after waking up quite early we went for our breakfast before packing our bags and then spending the rest of the morning by the pool. When it got to about 12pm, we headed out to find an internet café - we thought it might be a good idea if we tried to book some accommodation for tonight. At 1pm we jumped into the hotel shuttle bus and our driver drove us to the airport.

We spent a couple of hours wasting time and then before we knew it our flight was being called, so we said our goodbyes to Bali and boarded the plane. The flight was only a short one into Singapore and took us about 2 and-a-half hours. We were sat next to this guy on the plane, who is also travelling, and we had a good chat telling each other our stories. He's travelling alone and has done almost the same route as us. One thing that made us feel good was since September, when he came away, he's spent about £10k. IN 4 MONTHS... THAT'S CRAZY - we've only spent a couple of grand more, BETWEEN US... IN 9 MONTHS! Yippee for Ben and Nikki!

The airport in Singapore was crazy - it was huge! Apparently it's one of the best airports in the world, so it's a shame we won't be flying out of it (we're making our way across land through Malaysia and into Thailand... hopefully). Anyway, we collected our bags and then tried to sort out somewhere to sleep because our earlier efforts were wasted. We landed at 7.20pm and we finally got to our guest house at about 9.30pm. First we caught the train into the city and then the owners of the place came and collected us. The guest house is AMAZING! It's on the top floor of a big tower block, which has awesome views of the city, a huge comfy bed... and SKY TV. It's a shame we've only got it for one night... but nevermind.

We LOVE our room... it's safe to say, we'll sleep well tonight!
