Singapore - 1985
Taking long service leave for the middle school term in 1985 I went on my first trip to Europe.
(A 13-week Melbourne - Bangkok - Hong Kong -Taipei - Japan - Trans Siberian Railway - UK - Athens -
Israel - Egypt - Western Europe - Singapore - Melbourne trip.)
After a 13 hour flight from London I landed in Singapore and caught a taxi to the Shangri-La Hotel.
The Singapore Shangri-La Hotel that my travel agent arranged for the last days of this 103 day trip.
Set in spacious tropical grounds it was a luxurious way to finish the trip.
The exotic headdress of the hotel doorman.
The cricket ground in front of the government buildings in Singapore.
Orchids in the Singapore Botanical Gardens.
At a Chinese Temple in Singapore.
I had a seven-hour flight to Sydney and on to Melbourne with Singapore Airlines.
Margaret and the troops were pleased to meet me at Tullamarine airport after my 13-week Europear trip.
