Although we left YVR (Vancouver) at the scheduled time last Monday, the distance and dateline means that this is the first entry. We had no Tuesday. Last night (local time) we arrived in Singapore. The airline efficiently and effectively shuttled us to a free room for the night. At around 9:00 am we were up and walked around Arab Street first as The Golden Landmark is right there. We also walked over to Little India and had a lunch in a Sri Lankan restaurant. We had to get to shuttle back to the airport at approximately 7:00 pm to get on our flight. This was a very nice way of ensuring we'll not arrive in Colombo totally exhausted. The flight will get in after midnight but at least it's only 3.5 hours from here!
