Up and an early breakfast to get back into Heathrow airport for 8am. Flight with Singapore airline departed at 11 for our 12 h flight to Singapore. We were both well fed with dinner and breakfast. We arrived at the airport as the dawn was breaking, flying over water with hundreds of brightly lit boats. At home the temperature was -2C, but here it at 7am it was 25c and extremely humid. The airport here has been regarded as the best in the world and we spent our time looking at the designer shops and the artwork and sculpture in the terminal. There was also a butterfly garden in the terminal. Three and a half hours later and we were back in the air for the second flight of the day and yet more meals to occupy the 8h duration of the flight. Passed through Melbourne airport immigration, customs and biosecurity checks without too much difficulty despite being very tired. After a shot taxi ride we arrive at our hotel at about midnight (temperature still about 25 C.
