Our Asian cruising adventure begins today and Brisbane farewelled us in a blaze of sunshine and brilliant red poinciana trees.

Our flight to Singapore leaves in a couple of hours and we are whiling away our time in the Kris Lounge, courtesy of travelling Singapore Airlines Business Class.

We dodged the Duty Free shops as my perfume seems to have gone up $20 since May – damn! So now we’re enjoying the perks of the Business Class traveller before boarding our flight at 2.35 pm today.

Must be time for champagne 🥂

See you in Singapore 🇸🇬
