Up early to finish packing and enjoy breakfast. However as we stood outside in the rain, our taxi failed to turn up at 9am. We had to call them. We arrived at the airport at 9.45 but our plane was delayed by 4 hours. In the end we took off 6 hours late at 17.30 - very frustrating.

The flight was full and went smoothly. We had two meals on board and watched the Woody Allen film
Fading Gigolo. We arrived in Singapore, six hours ahead of Europe, at 11.30 am the next morning. Our driver was waiting to take us to
Grand Park City Hall.

We explored the Padang area, the river and Merlion Park before taking a taxi to
Raffles Hotel. We had a very expensive
Singapore Sling in the Long Bar. Then back to the hotel for a nap before dinner.
We took a taxi to Chinatown for a meal at
Blue Ginger. We ate soup with crab balls and then ayam buah keluak, a chicken dish with tamarind paste, and deep fried bean curd. We also had a local dessert.
We walked back past a colourful Hindu temple and ended the evening with a cocktail in the hotel bar.
