The End!

A bit earlier than expected.
But we're home.
I even got some sleep last night!

But first, back to Singapore:

The cool Japanese dues that were staying in our hostel went out busking(very professionally as you can see by all their gear) on the last night, if I had known it wasn't an offence that would land me in prison, I would have been at it every night there. What harm sure!:

All that heat ended up being the build up before the rain in Singapore, it rained all our last day there, which we didn't mind particularly, as we weren't outside too much. We spent a lot of time in the airport that day, and in Abu Dhabi our stopover was about 16 hours or so, so we spent a good bit of time there too!
As it was our last night, and there was only one place for accommodation within 30km, we went for it, and as you can guess by the name it wasn't cheap!:

Part of our room:

- it was absolute luxury, something we were not used to at all! But feck it!

Here's a strange pic out the window that ended up having more of the room in it:

We weren't tired somehow, so we went out through immigration to have a gawk outside, there's nothing around the airport at all really, except desert, so we went back in fairly lively, I think they thought we were taking the piss at immigration, what harm!

A few beers were had before heading off to bed, on of the few places you can have beer in the country:

- I got asked by some Jewish people if I was Jewish, that was a good larf!

The next morning we could see our view out the window, it wasn't Ballykeeran anyway!:

Anywhoo, the total travel time for the travelometer was 231hours.

The blog got 2,000 visits from 50 countries!

Thanks to everyone for the emails, texts, and comments, be they on the blog, bebo or facebook.

Much love.

Soggy Singapore

No more Rabid Dogs.
Another 7,352 miles until home.
Home for 12 days of Christmas build up.
Our bags have broke, burst, torn and were fined for being overweight, but they're holding it together!

It is illegal to walk out of a public toilet here without flushing.

I may be in Singapore but I'm as Irish as the next fella who orders a toasted ham & cheese sandwich and a pint of Guinness after climbing Cruach Phádraig of a foggy Match morn.
Due to this fact, the humidity knocks me for six here.
I can't function at optimum, all unnecessary systems have shutdown, such as attention span, spacial awareness, multi-tasking and the higher levels of the common sense spectrum.
Here's to hoping essential ones don't start going as well! :)

Another side effect of being Irish, is that we're never happy unless we're giving out.
Needless to say, over the last...nine or ten weeks, we've done our fair share of passive nagging on what we've seen.

Sorry, the humidity is getting to my anti-rambling-on gland.
I digress.

We're in Singapore, and to be honest, it's not that bad being back.
Would I recommend people to holiday here, or stay for a while going to a far away destination?
You bet your ass I wouldn't.
But we're enjoying it!

Today is our last day without any plans. Tomorrow will involve a flight, and a stay in the U.A.E.
The day after will see us continue on from there to Dublin.

I've no pics for this post, but I'll do another post when I'm home, about these last few days.
Take it as a "Jerry's Final Thought" post.

We're looking forward to staying a night in Abu Dhabi, but not to the cost of a hotel there!
Anywhoo, I'll go now before I waffle on anymore.

Chat ya from Ireland, or perhaps Abu Dhabi if I'm bored! :)
