We left our hostel in Singapore at 5.30am to catch a cheap tansfer mini bus to the airport. Louise was somewhat confused when packing her rucsack to find a padlock that didn't belong to her in with all her clothes! Customs had obviously gone through the bag and dumped someone elses padlock in it. Luckily a set of keys was very generously donated with the padlock so I now have a spare one.
We took full advantage of the free internet at Singapore airport while waiting for our flight to Perth. On arriving in Perth we took quite a long time clearing quarantine and tried not to laugh when the quarantine officer asked if we had been anywhere near Surrey recently and if our shoes were clean! Im sure we could of picked up far worse than foot and mouth disease in some of the places in Thailand and Malaysia we have been to.
Stayed in a hotel in Perth for our first night and moved to a hostel called Billabongs Backpackers resort today. Place is really cool. Going to watch the England rugby game tonight and hopefully not get the piss riped out of us for wearing England rugby shirts- especially when we probably lose!
