Dinner date and an early rise.

After Dan left me yesterday evening I had a good rest day today and hardly left the hostel. However in the evening I had a dinner date with KP. The Singaporean guy I met on the plane to Perth.

He had a very nice holiday and I had an excellent time with him. KP picked quite an assortment of Singaporean culinary treats including some great satay's with peanut dipping sauce and giant tiger prawns with garlic.

The chat was great as was the food and I couldn't thank KP enough for a wonderful evening.

I rolled back to the hostel full to burst and crashed out. Well not quite that simple as I got off the wrong side of the subway and panicked I was lost as I hadn't brought my compass.

I got up at 6 the next day to break n my new shoes with a run along the southern ridges. It was a really nice run but my new shoes really hurt my knee so I was hobbling and nearly in tears by the end of my run. A very kind man drove me to the closest subway so I could get home. I decided instead to go to the botanic gardens. It was very nice but due to the pain I couldn't enjoy it that much. I did bunk in to the orchid garden without paying, but still didn't enjoy it all that much so I went back to the hostel.

That evening my knee was still bad but I decided to move to a livelier hostel. I'm very glad I did as I met a really nice group and had dinner and was up till 2:30 drinking with them.

Today I visited a couple more museums and lost track of time so only managed to scrape in to my flight with 5 minuets to spare!
