I arrived in Singapore yesterday lunch time. The flight was a little late. Cliff was waiting at the airport for me and we head off in a taxi to Orlando’s and Sam’s house. The first taxi just looked at the box and then didn’t really do that much, I think this meant that the bike wouldn’t fit. The second taxi just put two seats down I sat in the back Cliff in the front. We got to the flat in about an hour it cost S$20 very reasonable.

When we got to the house I had a shower and sorted out my stuff. I didn’t unpack the bike box as wanted to leave it for the next flight to Cairns.

We spent the rest of the day around the flat. We went to 7-11 twice, to by various snacks and drinks and then had some dinner. After this we walked the dog.

I went to bed fairly early whilst, Cliff, Orlando and Sam watched American Idol.

I have just checked in for the first flight. My bike box weigh to much but transferring a lot of stuff to my hand luggage and rearranging everything meant I got it down to 30.9 kgs and didn’t have to pay anything extra, just means that I am now wearing loads of clothes and feeling pretty warm!

Well now it is just a waiting game until I can board my flight.

I went on the second to last test ride. So far I have ridden 221kms which is probable not far enough! I have to sort out the packing and various other admin mainly related to banks insurance etc. Not long left now. Best get back to the packing and admin.

I went on the fourth test ride last night all seems to be working well including the gears thanks to Dad for being a big help sorting them out.

It was a lovely sunny evening with a flat road and the wind behind me, and no luggage.

One week today until I fly.
