While You Were Sleeping

While all you lot are happily in the land of nod, it is actually 12 o’clock somewhere (yeh Here)

And that means it’s Singapore Sling o’clock for Mrs Fogg and I. At a paltry SG$41 each plus tax plus tip

Enjoy your snoozing while we are enjoying the boozing here at Raffles.

And we didn’t even queue, we did the oblivious thingy and walked past everyone waiting to enter the long bar. Mrs Fogg did get some hoyty toyty ole fart stop her to advise there is a queueing system. Ha they got sat on uncomfortable bar stools and we got sat comfy chairs. It’s the little wins in life.

That’s them on the stools that is (and she ain’t appy)

Drunks, out!

Oh yeh and here you get bags of monkey nuts and lob your used shells on the floor, it’s like a standard night out in Wakefield or Durham! (Eh Di, Helen)

Here’s the long bar, now where’s wally (she’s there somewhere)?

Meanwhile 5 Slings later, where’s the food!

Attempt Number 2

On the 18th April 2024 we attempted a holiday to Singapore and then Bali on Emirates via Dubai. Well that was pants, we ended up stranded in Dubai for 4 days without our luggage (which amazingly made it to Singapore). The luggage had a world travel of its own for a month!

So scroll forward a year and here we are with attempt 2, except we are going nowhere near Dubai and flying direct to Singapore. This time we are also hedging our bets by taking a carry on case with some spare clothes (given the last 2 trips we have lost all our luggage).

Make the most of it, this may be the last time all our luggage will be together, Momma Case, Poppa Case and Babee Case.

Follow our blog and see if we get reunited in Singapore or whether the luggage goes to Dubai

Of course the first challenge was finding the hotel at Manchester Airport…their website said 2 mins walk from Terminal 2. Yeah right…..
