A whole day of travelling...

Tuesday, March 2nd. To anyone travelling to Phuket Thailand, you can take the mini bus from the airport to your hotel in Phuket town for 100 baht, which was what I did. But then when I called the number for the mini bus, they charged 500 baht for the trip from the hotel to the airport. My hotel was only a 5 to 10 minute walk from the bus terminal so I walked there and took the government run airport bus to the airport instead. At 85 baht, it was a bargain.

My bag weights a bit more then when I first started the trip and it's probably at 7 kgs now. But I managed the 10 minute walk without any problems. I think I could probably go for an hour or 1.5 hrs before I really needed to sit down for a rest. Take it from me, packing light is good, less things to worry about. You really don't need much to travel around the world.

Today I spent the whole day travelling. I had a flight from Phuket to Singapore in the afternoon. Then after only 1 hour of stop over, I flew from Singapore to Perth. With such a short stop over, I didn't spend any time in the entertainment area in Terminal 2. I flew with Singapore Airlines on the Singapore to Perth leg. I love this plane, the on demand movies were great and there was plenty to choose from. The flight was a little over 5 hours long but time passed quickly for me. I watched two and half movies and we were already there. I landed at 00:30 and I managed to get through customs in a few minutes. I had no baggage to pick up so I almost made it out the secure area within 5 minutes of getting off the plane. However, I was stopped and they searched my bag. The only thing that I was confiscated was a rose apple that I forgot to eat on the plane. So I finished it in security area while the customs lady supervised. Eventually I made it out at around 1 am. I was quite exhausted from all the travelling today and was really relieved when I saw Steve immediately. I'll be staying with Steve during my time in Perth.
