This is our final morning. Pickup is around 11:15. Ankle again aches badly this morning. Panadol and rest is what the doctor ordered! Breakfast, relax by the pool - wouldn't want to strain ourselves when we have long flights to come! Will be home in less than 24 hours.
Errol stayed by the pool, while I went for a last walk to the market stalls to see if I could find a wallet at the right price. One man yesterday afternoon offered 50 000 rupiah, but I wasn't keen on that particular wallet - went back to see if he had any others. But this morning was another story, no-one would go below 100 000, and the wallets just weren't that good a quality.
Back to our room to change and pack. Checked out and waited for our pickup - arrived on time, and transfer to the airport was not a problem. We were ready to handle the porters if they gave us a hard time, but none came near us. Checked luggage, through security, paid departure tax. We had a stroll around, but there is nothing different here than what we have already seen, and it is dearer. Went to buy a cold drink, but they asked 90 000 for 2 drinks, that's 11 or 12 dollars - we decided we could wait till we are on the plane!
Flight was uneventful, one big tick for Jetstar, they actually left a little early - never heard of that before!! Through the hoops at Singapore airport again, collect baggage, immigration, transfer to different terminal, check in baggage, through security, immigration again, and then relax. Sadly we have hours to wait - seated at Starbucks by 5:45, departure time 9:15!!
Went for a wander and checked out the price of vodka in the duty free - 1 litre of Schmirnoff red label was $17.50, Singapore dollars. Made a note to get some before we go. Wandered on further and found another liquor outlet close to our boarding gate, here it was only $15.70. Bought it straight away, apparently it has to be delivered, sealed to our gate for us to collect there. In Aussie dollars, that's about $12.50/litre, or $9.40/750ml.
Found a heap of restaurants upstairs in terminal 3, and bought one serve of Roast Chicken with noodles from Killiney (Irish Asians!!), along with a can of soft drink, it came to $8.50 (again in Singapore dollars) and it was delicious.
Flight home was nothing unusual, but my ankle ached most of the way, and I just couldn't sleep. Matt and Nibbler picked us up - it is good to be home.
