The Big Adventure Part Two

I woke at three in the morning, i couldn't wake ant so i went online for a little while, his laptop is terrible to use but i managed. By Six it was light and time to wake him so i got him up and we headed down to the breakfast buffet where i royally pigged out on dim sum and Japanese and traditional English breakfast stuff, they even had a honey comb suspended in a frame, which was very good. After breakfast we went for a wander through the malls next to the hotel, these go on for miles and no shops were open as it was still to early and after an hour or so i suggested we wander back. Then the shops started opening, so we mooched through a couple. I decided it would be nice to relax by the pool for a bit so we searched out some swimming shorts and headed to the pool. We had a lovely afternoon relaxing reading and swimming, unfortunately ant got somewhat burnt and i did to a lesser extent. In the evening we decided to check out the asian food court at the raffles plaza, it has had a face lift since the last time we were there, so we got some food and sat and ate for a bit then headed back to the room for an early night, we finished off the bottle of wine from the night before then fell asleep.

The next morning i woke at a much more sensible hour, we got up and headed out to hunt down some breakfast, then did a little shopping. Ant wanted me to have some pajamas for the flight so i would not look too crumpled when we arrived in Sydeney and we got a little something for mum for a birthday pressie. The day before we had seen a place advertising Doctor Fish and ant became obsessed with finding it again, which we did. We paid for fifteen minutes and went into a room full of long fish tanks, we had to wash our feet then sit on the side of the tank and dangle out feet in. It was a very strange experience, as soon as we put our feet in the fish swarmed about them nibbling all the dead skin off them, it was almost like tiny electric shocks but boy did it work. So with really smooth feet we headed back to the hotel to start preparation for heading off to Sydney. When we got to the airport the girl on the desk held me back to the end and the nerves started to kick in a little but i got on the flight and was put in first class again, i was determined to get some sleep and changed into my new pjs before the plane had even taken off, i looked a bit of a nong i am sure but it did help when i got off at the other end. I managed to sleep a little and watched a film and then the flight was over, but thats another day.
