On the morning of leaving I got up to relieve myself only to see a large military gathering in the car parking area nearby. Lots of military carrying all sorts of gear, military bands, machinery, and marching.
Turns out they are rehearsing for something like a military tattoo this coming Saturday which explains why the nearby concert arena is having gear packed into it. It was very surreal though, almost like a military coup about to happen.
Other than that we eventually got up, had breakfast, checked out, and drove to the airport. We dropped the car back without issue, checked in without issue, got through customs nice and fast avoiding a 1 hour long line because disabled people receive priority, and waited to board our flight.
We have actually found having the additional space of the exit row areas to be annoying, people seem to think they can congregate right in front of you. We found the second leg of the flight in a "normal" row much better, though the aisle seat passenger was a chronic sleeper which means getting out was an issue.
Changi Airport once again did not disappoint with cleanliness and lack of crowds a very pleasant experience. Singapore Airlines was also again very impressive, we will definitely choose them over Emirates every time. On every single flight the toilets were well maintained and clean, the crew extremely accommodating, and always friendly. We took some interesting photos in Changi with some interactive art.
Also on the flight we managed to catch the skyline in between daytime and nighttime out of the window.
Flight into Brisbane was an hour early which was nice. We cleared border patrol and customs without issue and then into an Uber. That again being pleasant.
I am writing this after waking from a disturbed sleep, but will be back in bed again shortly.
Enjoy the pictures and Ciao.
