We landed in NZ Monday 19th, to a beautiful sunny day, we arranged to get picked up and taken to our rented accomodation where we will be staying for 8 weeks. We were greeted by the smell of lilly's and a bottle of champagne in the fridge, also some goodies to keep us going. All i needed at this moment of time is a nice cup of tea. Everything we need is here, Perfect!
Tuesday, we rang the schools for Paige, Billie-jo & Jaden. Had an appt for the Primary school which we thought was a lovely school for them, it was built 12 months ago, so we bought the uniform and they start Thursday.
Bj & Jaden started school today they had a lovely time, they both were allowed to take their shoes off and jaden said ' Mum, I didnt have to put them on to go outside' his feet were filthy but he enjoyed his day, Bj has got Mr Ellis and said he is lovely. We visited Orewa College and had an interview that afternoon and Paige starts Monday. We got the uniform and she doesn't like it, tartan green. I think she looks fine, and the fact that they will all look the same.

Still in Singapore
We had breakfast at the zoo, where you could have your pictures taken with the orang-utang and her baby, it was one of the best zoo's i ve ever seen. We took unlimited tram rides and also walked the trail. The orang-utangs were playing freely in the trees. We watched how the polar bear behaved under water and what they do when they are hungry.
We took a night adventure cruise down the river one evening and viewed Singapore by night. We visited a night market, and had a singapore sling at the famous Raffles hotel. We also ate out and had a Chinese but it never went down with the kids.
We visited the Island of Sentosa and saw an amazing underwater world Asias largesr tropical fish oceanarium, you were alowed to touch certain fish. We saw the merlion and listened to how Singapore got its name which is interesting to hear but i wont bore you with that now. We watched an amazing (sorry used that word twice but it was) a magial Sentosa show with fireworks. truelly spectackular.
