Sandra told last night that she had "misplaced" hers and Jean's passports. When she got to check in at Dubai for their flight to Singapore, she didn't have their Passports. Panic stations were alerted. She backtracked what had happened and when they got to their Hotel in Dubai, the Reception Staff took a copy of their Passport (but forgot to hand them back to Sandra & Jean). Sandra rang the Hotel and sure enough they were still there. Sandra explained the situation to them and after awhile a nice young man delivered their Passports to the Airport. He had hired/Hotel car and personally delivered them to them with about

1/2 hour to boarding.

We slept all night from 1.15am until Sandra's phone alarm went off at 7am. We had breakfast which was all you could eat (+ more). We went back to our room then we were going on the Open Air Bus around Singapore. Both Jean and me gave Sandra our $S600 for the 'kitty' as Sandra was going to pay all out of this $S1800. When we leave on Wednesday for home, what is left will be divided 3 ways.

We did the full circle on the bus. You could get on and off where you liked. When we got back to where the bus started from, we walked to the Hard Rock Cafe where Jean bought a T'Shirt. We walked a LONG way back to the Hotel. We walked from one end of Orchard Road to the other. We found a Supermarket where we got some cheese & crackers as Ruby (Sandra's friend) and her son Colin were coming for drinks and nibbles at 4pm. Colin lives in Singapore and Ruby lives not far from Sandra. After they left about 6.20pm we walked back to Subway and had a bit for tea. Only had a Subway as we had had bits and pieces all afternoon.

We came back to the Hotel about 8.30 and had another shower as we were really hot with the humidity. We fell into bed about 10.30 as we were very tired. Another day tomorrow.
