With a bit of time to kill on Monday before our overnight flight to London, we visited the Gardens by the Bay - which is probably best described as a botanical theme park - where there were fewer people and the two Biomes were maintained at a very pleasant temperature.
We also had excellent Dim Sum in the fish restaurant.
Then back to the flat - with Sushi - to have a glass of wine and a snack with Jeanette and Debs before Gabriel showed up to take us to the airport.
The flight to London was uneventful - unless you include the fact that I, unwittingly, dropped a chocolate on my seat after dinner and then spent the rest of the flight sitting and laying on it. By the time we got off at Heathrow I had an amusing pattern of dark brown streaks on the seat of my khaki walking trousers - nobody was pressing to close to me in the crush for the shuttle at Terminal 5.
We had a bit of a wait for our connecting flight - during which neither Heathrow Airport or BA dealt with us as we had expected - but eventually arrived at Shannon where June was waiting to collect us and bring us up to date on all the local news on the short drive home.
Finally got home 48 days after we left, 7 flights, 13 beds, 8 boat journeys and 12 Islands. Good to be back and all seems to be fine except for a couple more trees blown over in the February storms.
