In the car, beginning our 3 hour drive to Singapore. Kira has been spoiled here with this car seat, she will be rear-facing again when we get home. Poor thing.
When we reached the border to Singapore, we were delayed there for almost one hour while Uncle Bob was inside with the border agents. We had no idea what was going on and we were not allowed to leave the car. Finally, we were told that the "7" had fallen off the license plate, resulting in a hefty fine. They were going to continue to fine us until the "7" was replaced. So, after trips to hardware stores and gas stations proved unsuccessful, Charlie and Bob put their heads together and created a "7" out of a plastic spoon, knife, crazy glue, and scotch tape. And wouldn't you know it, the damn thing worked. On the way out of Singapore, no fine.
This is us on the ferry from Singapore to Bintan, Indonesia. Kira was such a trooper. The delay at the border meant we missed our ferry and had to take one 3 hours later. We had been traveling for over 8 hours at this point, but Kira was not fussing.
This is the villa we stayed at. Yes, we had the entire place. It was pretty much a 4 bedroom house. Pretty rough huh?
Oh, and it came with it's own private pool too...
Kira dipping her toes into the main hotel pool. After a little coaxing from Grandpa Charlie, Kira went in the pool and quite enjoyed it.
Hanging out at the pool with Grandma Tracy
And at the beach with Grandma Rose
The last day that we were there, it rained. A lot. The last night, there was a thunder storm, followed by another, and another, and so on. In the morning, the rain had stopped, but just before we left, it just poured. These pictures show what the back yard of the villa looked like after only 10 minutes of rain. That's how hard it was raining.
Hard to tell where the pool ends and the grass begins.
