Homeward Bound - maybe - desperate and dateless in Singapore


Surprise dear reader, the big Indian bird in the sky was late arriving to Singapore and the Aussie bound bird in the sky did not wait for the Goddesses. Has the world gone mad, are the planets still spinning? But wait, hush, a beautiful green rainforest (as only singapore can do fake) awaited the Goddesses at Singapore Airport. Yes a rainforest refuge (why not just call it a Lounge for the forsaken, delayed, demented traveller?) with beds, showers, beauty parlour, food and off course the most important feature - the internet. So praise the planets we are able to keep in touch with our flock of devoted readers. We truely are !ndestructible AND supposedly wait-listed on the next Qantas flight to Sydney.... Let's hope we get the date with the great bird in the sky.

Since we last wrote we toured Jaipur, honked, braked and prayed (well the driver's daughters did the praying) our way to Delhi, did a final tour and brief Delhi shop and flew out. There was the small issue of stamping luggage labels at Delhi airport............but let's not go there.

It's been a great experience - the goddess will publish a final set of photos if she ever sees Sydney again.

What's next? Sadly, TG Bernadette has decided to retire from her brief wondorous life as a cook (apologies Junot Diaz) "Oh No!" I hear the readers shouting - BUT dear reader BE HAPPY there are plans afoot to attend the Literature Festival next year - MUCH more interesting I hear you say. Out with the cooking in with the booking.

TG Kate sits beside me on the internet ogling the Selvedge magazine - we know what happened last time she ogled Selvedge magazine at Singapore airport..anything could happen from this point forward. Watch this space.

TG Sue is creatively planning what she will do to make her new home in Newcastle worthy of a goddess. Silver, scarves, elephants, indigo dyed fabrics are just the beginning.

That's it dear reader - I need to check out the mash potato machine, cocktails and fake flowers in the rainforest lounge right now. Another one of those "you kinda had to be there moments."

Namaste until the next adventure. May the gods and the big birds in the sky be with us (and you)

The !ndestructible, !ncredible Travelling Goddesses
