From London we flew to Singapore. We are staying at the very swish Fairmont Hotel just near the famous Raffles Hotel.
I like Singapore it's a bustling city, but everything works. It's humid, but not unbearably so. It's actually getting bigger each year as they reclaim land from the sea.
The shoppings good, the food is good, and so is the service.
It's a great place to stop for a couple of nights so you can break up that long flight back to Australia.
Today we visited the magnificent Blenheim Palace near Oxford. The palace was built for the Duke of Marlborough for his victory at the battle of Blenheim.
You might know that this was Winston Churchill family home, and there is a section of the building dedicated to him.
The rooms are opulant in keeping with the facade. There was a choir performing in the great room when we there, which was quite beautiful.
From Liverpool we drove to Cheltenham Gloucestershire, on the edge of the Cotswolds. It's a nice town with well kept gardens and buildings.
This will be our base as we rest up and explore the Cotswolds.
