Well left Johannesburg yesterday and its strange what you see on the roads. The shuttle bus stopped at the traffic lights and there were loads of street sellers coming up to the cars with dvds, leaflets and all sorts of things for sale. I'm amazed there's not accidents.
Anyway - caught my flight to Singapore and I must say I'm dead impressed with Singapore airlines. Air hostesses in traditional costumes, foot rests, hot towels when you're seated and several times during the journey for you to freshen up. Menus and the food was excellent, quality pillows and blankets, loads of overhead luggage space and I was lucky enough to have a spare seat next to me. A choice of 55 movies, 3 magazines, purple socks - what more could I ask for.
Arrived in at 5 am and on the way to the hotel there were loads and loads of joggers, I know some countries are keep fit fanatics but I thought this is ridiculous - nearly everyone I saw was jogging and this was 5.30 in the morning. Turns out there was a marathon going on.
Hotel is ok but when I arrived at that early hour was told I could not check into the room until 12 unless I was prepared to pay for an additional half day which is not worth it considering I have to leave by 4am tomorrow morning for my flight to Colombo.. As you can imagine I'd been travelling for 24 hours with little sleep so was not best pleased. Its the first time I've actually felt close to tears, but once I'd got the rude receptionist to let me in the room at 11 and had a few hours kip, I was ready for battle. Needless to say I've completed the feedback form which firmly reflects my displeasure.
Anyway - that's behind me now so I'm off for a bicardi and coke and an early night.
Love to all. Sue.xxxxxxxxxxxx
