Friends & Family

Singapore, Melbourne was my first layover trip with Emirates and 6 months later I'm back doing it again. This time round I knew the aircraft like the back of my hand though! I had been looking forward to this trip all month as I was going to see my family in Singapore and Melbourne. The journey out to Melbourne was fine. When I was there I saw my friend Bardia for breakfast and then had lunch with my Uncle Glen. We went in the casino and my uncle won $100. I was lucky too and managed a win on Roulette gaining me an extra $15! When we got back to Singapore half the crew went out for a Chinese. The food was great this time and I'll definitely be having the lemon chicken again next time I visit. After 4 hours sleep it was time to get up and go and find my family's hotel on the other side of the city. They had just been on a cruise and were spending a week in Singapore after it. I arrived to find that their room was empty and after a slight panic (they don't do mobiles) I found them downstairs having breakfast. First it was over to Sentosa island on the cable cars, then after a quick walk around it was time to race them down the hill on some karts. We then went back to the mainland by monorail for lunch. I had a great day and can't wait to see them again!
