Today is our second day here in Singapore and what an elegant city. Smartly dressed women, clean sidewalks, gorgeous shopping malls, it’s fun to explore.

The weather has been kind so far – we have had hot days, balmy nights and a mix of strong sun and clouds. Our ride on the Singapore Flyer today was lovely, we managed to get a car with just an Australian lady in. Just as we got off they closed the ride as a storm blew in. No worries for us though, we did our favourite pastime of eating and scoffed dim sum until the storm cleared.

As Mr Fogg has already said, we’ve seen quite a bit so far- Orchard Road, ordered suits, Civic District, Marina Sands Bay hotel for drinks, a walk beside the river and of course Raffles Long Bar to throw peanut shells on the floor and take out a small mortgage to buy not one but 4 Singapore Slings – ahem Mr Fogg!!

So tomorrow we hope to take the MRT (posh tube to you and me), a cable car and a 750 metre zipwire suspended 75 metres above the ground and travelling at 50kph ( goes faster if you are heavier Mr Fogg tee hee!)

Then it might just have to be a night view of Singapore from the Singapore Flyer again.

So much to see, such sore feet and so little time….now what else is in these guidebooks that I can add to the list..
