DAY IN SINGAPORE

It was lovely to get up to breakfast again and we met a lovely guy who turned out to be an Archbishop.He was as in Singapore for a meeting but lived in Buenos Aries. Great chatting to him he loved the idea of our blog! Another mystery tour on the bus which led us to The Marina getting quite excited but when we got there it was a building site!! We could remember the taxi driver telling us that they were building on reclaimed land. Oh well back on the bus to China Town for lunch. Not the best shopping centre but lunch was OK. We met a really helpful young lady who got the map out and circled all places of interest. She made us laugh when she pointed out the district where we would find the night clubs! I didn`t like to tell her we were normally in bed just after 10pm. Well all this sight seeing stuff is tiring! Anyway she did point out Clarke Quay which would be our next stop. That is the place on the photos with the white flowery trees. Harbour front was another spot but it turned out to be a shopping centre. Every shopping centre is the same so really no particular interest. Her name was Nansi and she was from Perth here doing a modelling shoot! makes you sick! Mind you she soon tucked into that food which was dripping in oil! She said she wasn`t going to starve herself so you have to admire her for that. She showed us her portfolio and then she was on her way. Well we had a photo shoot at Raffles! When it came to having a drink though we were led to The Long Bar and there was absolutely no one around so that was a no go! Both of us agreed we would be better off at Chijmes.Now Chijmes is so magical. There is a beautiful church in the centre with fantastic lighting. This is surrounded by a massive courtyard with gardens. Every tree has an abundance of white fairy lights. Bars and restaurants surround the courtyard. We found a lovely Italian Restaurant and settled there for the night. Speak tomorrow Bet & bri x x x
