Same Shirt, Different day-2012 Adventures of the "Devonport Wonder Babes"

Sunday 21 October 2012 Singapore and on to Auckland

Late breakfast outside on top deck

We were going to take picnic to Botanic gardens for lunch but there was  huge ongoing thunder, lightning and heavy rain from about 10 am so scrubbed that idea. Thai for lunch about 1 pm at local food hall, then bus to Little India again for Lyndsay to get her new gear and Sam to get new clothes for Diwali.

 

 

 

Did online check in with Singapore Airline then taxis to airport by 6 pm. Checked in bags and then off to McDonalds ( only time on this whole trip for Lyndsay and I) for coffee and Happy Meals, Sammy pleased as scored 2 trucks from Happy Meal packages.

 

Through to Departure Lounge by about 7.30 pm. met Helen and Rod who had flown from Frankfurt and had debrief about what we had all been doing over past 2 weeks, they had been in campervan in Loire and then in Paris for last few days.

Uneventful flight home except for one screaming baby, watched 2 movies, Columbus Circle (bit far fetched) and Salmon Fishing in Yemen ( fantastic with Kristin Scott Thomas magnificent as the political spin Dr ) plus 2 episodes of "The Newsroom" a new Aaron Sorking TV series -reserve judgement.

Arrived at Auckland Airport Monday 22^nd about 11.30 am   and Caro was  waiting with Honda (complete with new COF and rego), so dropped her home and then the four  of us  headed for Devonport, dropped Rod and Helen at their house and Lynds and I headed off  to Anne and Chris’s house for 2 nights as cant return to our house until 28^th.
