January 22, 2014 – Last day in Singapore and off to Phuket

Today was a hang out & pack day, although we did manage to head out for a fabulous lunch at Jamie’s Italian – Jamie Oliver’s new Italian restaurant nearby the apartment.  It was absolutely delicious ... and a very beautiful spot.

 

Crab and avocado bruschetta

 

 

Homemade tagliatelle pasta and a pear, prosciutto & Parmesan salad .... gorgeous !!!

 

 

 

CHEERS !!!

 

Hayden, I took this next photo for you !!  THIS was at the entrance to a toy store.  The whole lion is made out of Lego (your favorite) and it is TALLER than Grandpa.... pretty impressive display !!! 

Loveyoumissyou and Bentley too ....

Then it was back home to pack and get organised to leave.  Ken and Dina will be heading  back to Singapore after we part ways in Phuket, and then they head off for three weeks of travelling the islands west of Bali, and north to Sulawesi !!  Meanwhile, their apartment is being packed up and moved back to Melbourne !!  They need to be very organised because at that point they won’t have access to their things for another 6 weeks or so !!!  Such world travellers .....  :-)

The evening flight to Phuket was a quick hop ... we actually spent more time in the Quantas lounge (thank you Ken !!)  than we did in the air.  THAT makes travelling SO MUCH MORE pleasant .... nice dinner,  wine, beer, champagne .... “the only way to fly” .....  I could get very used to that !!!

After our quick flight, we arrived at the Marriott Mai Khao Beach Resort, to a gorgeous 2 bedroom apartment, complete with our own private pool and beautiful public pools and lush gardens just beyond our gate.  We took a walk around the grounds out to the beach and to the other Marriott complex next door.  They are both, absolutely beautiful spots .... we are in for a TREAT !!!!
