Monday, April 29th
A late start, breakfast next to the hotel, an 11:30am check-out and then another (cheap) taxi ride to Dover Rise (where Robert and Carla live).
Today is hotter than yesterday, mainly because the sun is shining, so walking anywhere becomes uncomfortable. Nevertheless, Robert had to collect some things from INSEAD, so we walked there, cooled off in the A/C and then had lunch in one of the local air-conditioned food halls - lots of good, cheap Asian food to select from. Asians don't do good coffee, so it was off to Aussie owned Jimmy Monkey for a "proper" coffee.
Now we're all just passing the time indoors, keeping cool, and playing with our laptops, iPads and iPhones. At least the TV isn't on...
The taxi trip to the airport encountered a bit of a Singapore bottleneck, mainly due to a motorcycle accident on the freeway. The bike was collected without problems, and checked in to Pisa, also without too much difficulty.
Had dinner and a shower in the Qantas Club, and then managed to speak briefly with Tony when his flight arrived in transit just before mine departed ahead of his. The flight was long (over 13 hours), and not as comfortable as the one to Singapore.
