Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th

Having spent ages weighing bike bag and our other bags we could not get the weight below 46kgs - limit 40kgs!.
Got to Larnaca airport to fly Emerites. they laid a red carpet for 1st class, blue for business; we were economy-stone floor! We did not mind as were first in the queue. We put our bike bag on the scales before any Emerites staff came. We had to lift the arm off the scales as the bike bag was too big to go under it. It weighed 30kgs. When the Emerites girl arrived we put the bike bag back on the scales but she had put the arm back over the scales so we could only get the bike bag half on. It only registered 15kgs ! - no excess charge.
Finally got to Singapore only to be told our bike bag had not got on the flight- eventually arrived 8 hours later.
First meal out - Jeff enjoyed a spicy crab - he is leaving the fish head soup until later!!
Today we got the bike together (no problems) Jeff has it down to a fine art.
We cycled to Changi prison - the scene of horrendous conditions for prisoners of war. It was a very moving experience. There was a wonderful video of a Malaysian woman who had been tortured by the Japanese for helping British prisoners. She said " she forgave the soldiers, but could never forget what happened to her, but the real evil was war when people behaved so badly". We are taking the ferry in the morning to Malaysia to start our cycling holiday. Not sure when we can next up date you but we will when we can.
