In Transit

Singapore airport provides great facilities for bloggers
We’re on our way, “in transit” for 14.5 hours in Singapore airport, waiting for the connection to Colombo. We arrived here in the middle of the night, so there was no point in trying to see the sights. But Singapore is the best airport in the world (subject only to anyone who can provide evidence of a better one to be in transit. We booked 8 hours in the transit hotel, at about NZ$80 for two of us not a great price for the luxury of several hours good sleep, and then a swim in the airport hotel pool before breakfast. Lovely Asian food at US$5 (or S$6 which is less but we haven’t any S$ cash) for a meal. Now we’re using the free Internet, and the comfortable armchairs and peace and quiet, wile allowing others to enjoy the shopping. This is civilised airtravel.

and a comfortable lounge for cattle-class customers!

The next post, probably in a day or two, should contain our first impressions of CTS….
