Day 21 - Singapore to London
An
early start, to make up for yesterday's delays. But still only time
to have a quick wander around a park and to the beach. It didn't
matter that it wasn't yet nine and it was cloudy - the sun was still intense,
and less than an hour's walk was exhausting in the humidity.
A
wrong turn alongside the freeway risked (a) provoking the Singapore authorities'
well-known intolerance of jaywalking, and (b) causing us to miss the bus
to the airport. But all was well, and two sweaty types arrived at
the airport to down litres of chilled water.
The
longest flight yet was not improved by the fact that the in-flight entertainment
system broke down about every ten minutes. But after fourteen long
hours, we arrived in London where, lo and behold, it was raining.
Had it stopped at all in the previous three weeks? To add to the
atmosphere of familiar London chaos, the Tube driver managed to press the
wrong button, causing Digital Dorothy to demand an impromptu detraining
at Hounslow East.
Home. Three weeks' worth of junk mail. Bed. The End.
