Hey there friends,





Felt much better today, had a good sleep. BP is still up but not too bad.





Catherine,( niece of Lynette from katiKati but Singaporean) came to my hotel to pick me up top go to her place.





They live near the airport , in a condominium complex with 2 swimming pools fitness centre and games room.





It was national day yesterday, so big celebrations. National day is celebrating Singapore 43rd year of independance from Malaysia.





We took bus 2 to " Edelweis complex" where Catherine, and husbandd and 3 kids live.





It's a 3 bedroom appartment and they have free access to the pools etc.





There was a party at 7 pm. Before that we caught up with each other because Catherine had been to our place with her 2 kids to ride the horses while she was staying at Lynette's place .





We had lunch on the way somewhere near here and then went ont he bus.





At night there was a big thunderstorm, and they get very loud here. Good amount of rain too.





On this complex live also a lot of people working in the aircraft industrie. Catherine's husband is an aircraft engineer. I met stewardesses and pilots too. I told them about the spraying incidence and my asthma attack as the result of it. This one pilot said it sould never have been sprayed while the passengers are onboard. It should have been done beforehand.





Big mistake from Emirates.





So anyway, I still feel tired and I now have a cold. I had a good swim in that pool, which has water that is about 30 C.





But very nice settings and a nice party afterwards with a pot luck dinner.





Tonight( if its not raining, because now it is) I am going to that night Safari where you see the night animals come out at the Zoo.





For now, enjoy these photos from yesterday( Saturday)

Hoi Marianne
Wohhhhhhh wat geweldig allemaal zeg.
Zou er jaloers op worden.
En dat eten.....heerrrrrrrrlijk.
Ik vond dat sprayincident ook heel vreemd hoor...zoiets doe je niet met passagiers aan boord, je weet niet wat voor rotzooi het is toch.
De foto's zijn weer geweldig ik geniet er elke keer weer van.
Geniet nog lekker van je verblijf...nog een paar dagen, dan begint het "gewone" leven weer.
Liefs vanuit wederom nat Elst
je nicht/zusje Elly

God bless you! Darlene
