After much thought we've had a change of planet!  Although Sri Lanka is a very beautiful island we needed to end the trip with more of a bang so diverted to one of our all time favourite places Indonesia.   Sri Lanka's appeal to the SAGA contingent means we've plenty of time yet.  Our plan is to get the ferry to a small island off Singapore called Batam and then head to Bali and Jogjakarta.  Sleigh Bells are truly ringing throughout Singapore, there are huge displays and Christmas trees everywhere, snowmen who chase you through the busy streets and Slade booming out of every pub, it is all very strange - the air even smells of turkey, cranberry sauce and gravy.  How will they keep up the momentum till the big day (which most people dont celebrate anyway).  No doubt the main aim of filling the tills at M&S will be achieved - especially as shopping is 24 hours a day for the festive season. 

"so we'll have fun fun fun
'Til our daddy takes the T-Bird away!"
