Stuck in Singapore...

Well we just did the airport hostel (yes singapore has everything!). This place has to be my favorite airport. Not really a hostel, but we did manage to get a 4 hour napping slot (darkened room with your own couch like area) and a shower (private of course - rated the best shower I have ever had!) and internet for a bout $41. Well worth it...

So we arrived in Singapore at midnight and never had our ride show up. Around 3:30am we bagged it and tried the hotel airport (did I say Singapore has everything?), it was around $200 a night, so we opted for the "lounge" hotel.

Still can't upload any stills as I am at an internet terminal with no access to ports. Good news is we find out (or checked emails) and we do have a satellite phone number for someone on board the ship. In about two minutes I will try to give them a buzz and hopefully someone from the Navy will swing by.

36 hours traveling and I haven't touched the real world yet. Funny how we look at life through the exterior, eyes see and we judge and understand based on that. Wouldn't life be awful if all we knew of other countries and people was from visiting their airports?

Gotta get to boat...

Enjoy!
