The last time we enjoyed our fantastic breakfast at the Intercontinental and then made our once again on the way to the hotel's clinic to arrange Mirjam cough medicines for the flights that were still to come.
Miriam was the same doctor carried out a detailed investigation. This included a cervical examination, listen to his chest and blood pressure. Then we got a couple of tablets pressed in the hand and could be pulling out of our way.
Since early morning it had rained heavily and so it fell to us seems not too difficult to pack our bags and us to check-out to go to the reception. There we expected a long line, because the Balinese took everything very closely and worked a little awkward. At some point we were still on the line, got our bill of almost four million rupees and then waited outside the hotel entrance to our taxi that would take us to the airport.
met a few moments later, a Japanese small car and we looked a little skeptical that we and all our luggage including Wheelchair could ride at all. In the end, everything fit in, but had the wheelchair in the back seat and the wheelchair was still packed to the case. The taxi driver was quite afraid for his yellow leather seats, but we stayed focused and a half hour later we had jostle through the Balinese traffic and arrived safely at the airport.
Two young men came running with a luggage cart, loaded our luggage and escorted us up to scan and check-in counters of Singapore Airlines. There without much fuss over our luggage was weighed and checked.
While the procedure was already an assistant turn back and brought us swiftly through the controls to the gate. Then we had another half hour after our last rupees to spend, what we used and also shopped a lot of cough drops for Miriam.
back at the gate, we were taken after half an hour of waiting time as the first in the plane and our seats were in the 36th Series are taking. Even when checking in they had informed us shared that we would get three seats for two.
When we got on the plane, we noticed the same great long dresses on the flight attendants that looked like saris. During the two-hour flight, we were pretty busy. The small television in the back of the front man not only showed about 40 films, but also had to offer a variety of music channels and also has a game console. Sorry, we do
had not much time to do us in, because after the hot towelette was soon the menu to which it was red or white wine. Then it just managed to drink a cup of coffee and the usual immigration forms to fill in and it was time to "Buckle up" for the landing approach.
What we then expected, surpassed anything we have ever experienced in speed at an airport - and we have now seen many airports! The last passenger had his feet not yet set out the door, there stood an Asian even with the aisle chair next to Beate's seat fast it went through the tunnel to the gangway and there was just brought the wheelchair.
A friendly fellow passengers agreed to help, Beate to lift the wheelchair, because our little Asian girl alone would never overcome. But then she let the rudder (or the wheelchair handles) do not take more out of hand.
Bold Beate she pushed through half of the airport and Miriam had to run directly in order to keep up. The customs and visa processing happening on the fly so to speak, and soon we were standing at the luggage belt. Not even a minute later we had our three huge pieces of luggage and found our assistant swinging threw it on the luggage cart, so that Miriam does not even come into play.
Even then we were not yet freed from their mouth and pushed her Beatrice to the taxi stand. There we were assigned to a taxi and Beate put himself at the passenger side (once again left) and Miriam had almost no chance to ask for help Stellungn next to it, because our assistant was not to push.
invited In the meantime, the driver and luggage bag, then sat behind the wheel and slammed the driver's door. Beate it was just able to persuade them not to drive directly, as Miriam and wheelchair were still outside. He looked around confused and then said that for the other things are no more space taxi. Miriam, who had noticed nothing, opened the rear door and wanted to build the wheelchair apart to then invite him.
Distracted by the strange behavior of the taxi driver she paid two seconds is not on our zealous helper who took advantage of the situation and the same time lifted the wheelchair to the rear wheels. It turned the seat and slammed back onto the floor. Somewhat helpless, they stood with the overturned wheelchair in front of the car and the taxi driver was already impatient for him all this took far too long.
Miriam took the Asian now really the wheelchair and the responsibility of the hand, took off the wheels and loaded everything in the back seat of the taxi, then just barely managed to enter ourselves and our friendly helper to God to pass you.
At high speed, we shot out of the parking space and head toward downtown Singapore. The entire procedure of leaving the aircraft had to boarding the taxi not even lasted half an hour. Our Indian driver broke all speed records, what was at the "spirited" dudelnden loud Indian music also to be expected.
30 minutes later we arrived at our hotel, the Swissotel Merchant Court "at the" Singapore River ". Again, it went on smartly. We were happy that all four car wheels were already, as the wheelchair and the luggage was unloaded and in between was still reckoning with the Master Card. Unfortunately, it worked with the printer for the bill not really, but you had no time and as the taxi driver drove off easily, without getting a signature from Beate.
The reception was quickly launched yet a third staff member, so that we could be served immediately. After some explanations, they brought us in person to the second floor to our great room, which we had received an upgrade. The room was really very nice but unfortunately the shower front with a low wall and also far too narrow. Asked on Beate's explained to her that this was the wheelchair rooms.
We asked to visit another room to be allowed, for a bath with the bath water board would be appropriate but not usable as a shower. Of carrier was allowed to wait a short time later, the young receptionist came out with the room key for another room. Here, the tub was ok, but the door opened inwards, and so were some driving skills are needed, to go between the door and tub through to the toilet. This, however, Beate took into account, for the room also had a sun terrace overlooking pool and river. could
After we clarified that we have breakfast the next day and 10.30 to 15.00 clock clock and keep our room, we were on our way to visit the spa, as we had thinking that we might be there the next evening showers could still before we are at 23.00 clock in the plane to Frankfurt will have to rise.
Then we ventured out into the busy Singapore. Just behind our hotel ran the great "Singapore River", in which we found nice restaurant, where we We indulged in a drink.
Then we started marching towards the port and enjoy the skyline, the breathtaking views of the Concert Hall, crossing several bridges,
were in Chinatown and ran the Esplanade along to the end.
shone on the way back the bridges in all colors and once again we were fascinated by a great city, which lies on the water.
At 20.00 clock, we found that we had really done enough for today and relaxed our tired limbs in a good pizza at a restaurant on the river near our hotel.
Previously we had already learned that Singapore is considered the cleanest city in the world. At the airport we noticed that all the halls are carpeted and really were absolutely clean. Sorry, we did not consider it in more detail, here we are in a hurry rushed through the halls. Some of the many rules and prohibitions signs we were already on the way, such as at a pedestrian tunnel, where the ban on same plate with the appropriate penalty for non-compliance was provided.
