My big adventure to Europe
Part One (Singapore)
On Thursday the 7th September I started a big journey with my parents to Europe to spend time with family in Germany. This is the story of my trip.
On Thursday morning I caught a plane to Singapore to break up the big trip.The flight took 10 hours and I was able to watch a heap of movies including Fate of the Furious, Baywatch, Family Guy, Pirates of the Caribbean and a bit of Tom and Jerry.
Everyone had their own movie screen and we got served really nice lunch and dinner.
When we arrived we had to go through Customs.
We had to walk through by putting our passports in a scanner and our thumbprints were also taken.
The airport is so big that we took a Mono Rail just to get to our baggage, then we left for our hotel in a private car that my Mum had pre booked.We realised when we got outside the terminal that it was super hot.
We stayed for 3 days at the Hard Rock Hotel. We chose this hotel because of the pool which is amazing. www.hardrockhotelsingapore.com/
When we arrived we got taken to our room. As soon as we got inside we realised at this point that we had booked a deluxe room by mistake. It was huge with two rooms and an ensuite plus two giant TVs.
We also had a pretty good view.
On the second day I realiesed that in the pool below our room there were dolphins swimming and jumping so I watched them from our room.
Breakfast was included and you can eat as much as you want so I had heaps of fresh watermelon and pancakes. We had lunch one day sitting at a Bar inside the pool which was pretty funky.
We did quite a bit of walking and got really hot because it was about 28 degrees.
On our last day we moved to Chinatown because we wanted to stay in a hotel as late as possible because our flight to Germany left at midnight. We ate soft shell crabs for lunch in a Japanese restaurant and it felt like revenge for all the nips we get from the crabs at the beach at home.
Walking back to the hotel after shopping at a Mall (where I got an awesome Mickey Mouse t-shirt) I saw a gold Lamborghini parked outside a flash hotel with its wheel clamped.
We went to the airport at 9 pm so we could cruise around the shops, eat dinner, and find our departure gate.At Customs we had to give our thumbprints again and we finally got on our plane to Germany at 10 to midnight. We were really tired but I wanted to watch a movie but I wasn't allowed until I had a sleep. So as soon as I woke up about 8 hours later I watched Kong Island and Power Rangers but by then it was time for breakfast and to get ready for landing in Frankfurt.
