Had an excellent flight-even managed to catch up with some sleep. Was up till 1.30am arranging hop on and hop off orientation of Paris and booking The Surrealist House at the Barbicon. Enjoyed Alice in Wonderland on the plane - visually it was so beautifully designed. Waited for over two hours for our free shuttle bus. The compensation was an upgraded room and later check out. Had a fantastic Chinese meal in the Roxy with samplers of beautifully presented dishes- very light just what we wanted after a longish flight. My ankles have not complained yet and am thrilled that elephantitus has not yet set in. Changi Airport is a stunning building draped in cascades of flowers and foliage. There are many innovative modern buildings. The drive from the airport seemed even more impressive than in the past. The road side planting is spectacular. Even curbside guard rails are disguised by plants. Ficus creeper covers concrete walls with bougainvillea draped over the top. This softens otherwise harsh and unattractive areas. Roger is up in the room while I am making the most of the free Internet access. A bath awaits. Forgot to mention that we read on the plane that Singapore was flooded yesterday. We envisaged paddling with wet luggage but remarkably all is fine today - pleasant not hot or humid. We haven't been to Orchard Rd yet but have a free city tour tomorrow leaving at 8.30am after breakfast.
Love to all
