Incredible to think a Colonial Style hotel, Raffles, can survive in this modern city of high rise hotels. Dwarfed by its neighbours but still an incredible tourist attraction.
Singapore is hot & humid but not unbearable. Hawker markets still great fun and food excellent (apart from the dodgy ice desserts with lots of colourings, chocolate souce, crumbs and topped with sweet corn! - Joe & George attracted by the huge portion but not the flavour!)
Now suffering the not sleeping - awake since 3.40 - tired but cannot sleep.
Now the proud owners of a new video camera - smaller than the digital camera and more powerful.
Now raining in Singapore - unusual as not the wet season. If rain abates we will go to Sentosa Monday before flying to Syndey tonight.
Photo is world's highest outdoor pool - 600' - balanced across 3 towers!
Now that's a swimming pool...how would they drain it :-)
ReplyDeleteOh no! Do we have to watch a video of the whole 5 weeks or can we just see the edited highlights!
