Ah - as good as it gets - SQ in F class from Sydney to Singapore. The service on the flight was the best we have ever experienced as was the Krug and the "book-the-cook" lobster. We arrived around 2:30pm and took a limo-taxi to our hotel, The Moevenpick on Sentosa. This was probably not the greatest choice as the hotel was a bit of blot on Moevenpick's reputation - however, it is now long forgotten.

In the afternoon - we walked around checking out some of the new developments on Sentosa and took a quick tour of the new aquarium which was very good.

Thursday AM - we went for a swim then had a pretty good breakfast before heading back to the airport to catch our 1:30pm flight to FRA. We were both a bit zapped from a restless night but the flight to FRA was excellent - just long. We arrived at 8:30pm, and checked into the Sheraton at FRA airport - one of our favourite transit hotels.
