Are we going to make it?

Days 31 to 32 - Cebu to Singapore to Melbourne

Day 31

Last day in the Philippines! Our room had a nice view of the ocean and as we were getting ready we witnessed a waterspout, something neither of us had seen before.  

Our flight was leaving at 1:00pm and we were only 9km from the airport so we decided we had plenty of time for breakfast before heading to the airport. We had checked out by about 9:45am  and tried to book a ride to the airport using Grab, but for some reason there were no drivers in the area. We kept trying as we hadn't booked a hotel taxi, and while we were waiting there was a massive clap of thunder followed by very heavy rain. Fortunately a driver accepted our request and pulled up a few minutes later, dropping off a couple of passengers. 

Our driver told us the roads were flooded so the trip would take a while, and he wasn't wrong! Our 9km trip took us 86 minutes, as we had left early we were confident we would get to the airport on time though at times we did get a little worried.

We safely made it onto our flight, arriving in Singapore just before 5pm. We checked in to the airport hotel then visited the the Jewel light show, followed by dinner in the shopping plaza next door.

Day 32

Changi Airport is pretty easy to get through and our flight was at 10:50am. We woke early, checked out then hung out at one of the airport lounges for a while before our flight, eventually arriving in Melbourne around 10pm. Trip over ... time to start thinking about the next one
