Its Getting Hot in Here...

So will pick this post up where I left off last night! I did notice that the other post is terrible written, but that's what happens when you are being charged E5/15 minutes!!!

So I had a lovely swim last night, and finished it off with a hot bath, and a comfy bathrobe. Got in bed at about 8:30pm and was sound asleep by 9pm, which was fine as I needed to be up at 6am! The plan was going great until I woke up at 2am and could not get back to sleep.... but never mind said I - I shall watch the football final which started at 2:30am. Now let me explain something - I detest football. I think it is a stupid sport, which grown men get far too emotional about. The only time I am interested in watching it, is when World Cup and the EUFA Championships are on. Imagine my horror when I discovered that no station in Singapore was airing the final, and had to "listen to it" on some radion station on the telly. So for the second time in the same championship I lost a bet on the champions...

Anyway - I eventually got up at 6:30am, and went doen to breakfast, which is unbelievable. There is a dedicated omelette maker!!! So I put him to good use. After this I made my way to Sentosa Island. I walked from the Hotel to the MRT (Underground) Station, which took 10 minutes. A 10 minute walk at 8am and I was absolutely soaking through... man the humidity is unbearable. Thanks for the advice on the wet wipes Shaz!!!

Made it to Sentosa Island, via the cable cars and went on the first adventure of the day - swimming with the pink dolphins. Was great fun, and we got them to do tricks and got to hug them as well. So thats where my itenerary went out the window... shock/horror!!! I did the 4D cinema as soon as I got back - basically its 3d with water effects and your seat moves. There were two choices... some water thing, and a pirate adventure... no contest there!

After my piratey adventure I went on the Luge, which is so much fun - you scream down this windy track on what is kind of like a go-kart. After that I headed off to Underwater World, which was my highlight. I got into the diving gear, and then into the tank - its the same tank that forms the tunnel that people walk under, so as we were swimming along feeding the rays and holding and touching various sharks people were watching and taking photo's. After that I went into the dugong tank and fed Grace the Dugong - that was absolutely mad.

After I came back from my underwater adventure, I finished the day up with a trip to the Butterfly and Insect kingdom - a little disappointing, and then two more Luge and skyrides. Took the Cable car back to the main island, got off at the wrong MRT station on Orchard Road, and discovered a 24 hour internet cafe, which is where I am sat right now - looking pretty shoddy and absolutely wrecked. Gonna head back to my hotel, have a swim and a bath and get some sleep - sure I have been awake for 17 hours at the moment, and actually feel tired. I can't even think what I am doing tomorrow!

Right - I should probably figure out where I am now...
