Hurrah, I am leaping for joy, surrounded by my lovely goodies - yes we had a stop in Singapore.
If you are interested, the name Singapura is derived from the Malay words singa ("lion") and pura ("city"). According to legend, this name was given by a 14th century Sumatran Malay prince, who, landing on the island after a thunderstorm, spotted an auspicious beast on the shore that his chief minister identified as a lion (however it now appears that lions have never lived in Singapore, and that it would have been in fact a tiger - they are all the same to me.....).
After some rather tasty mock duck for me, and for the more adventurous - stingray barbecued and served on banana leaf - we decided to leave and head on our way.
In total we covered 252 miles and once again find ourselves bobbing in the sea...
