26: The last few days of our holiday...

We caught the Roisy bus back to the airport - very uneventful passage through immigration etc - the bird at the desk so busy chatting to her friend that she didn't even bother looking up at us while she stamped our passports.   So off we flew to Singapore (7am arrival) - again an easy exit and on the the MRT to Lavender to check into our hotel - luckily they had a room available so we had a nap for a couple of hours before setting off back into the city.  

It's been about 20 years since Ive been to Singapore and things have really changed - so much development and so many shopping centres - but the prices - there are not too many bargains to be had here anymore.  

We bought tickets for the open topped bus and did a few rounds of the city to get oriented - hopping off at various points of interest.  The skyscrapers here are amazing - I think they must have had some contest to come up with the weirdest concepts for building designs - the cruise ship on stilts (Marina Bay Sands) probably has to take the prize!

We stopped for a drink in the Singapore equivalent to Darling Harbour - again we were shocked at the drink prices - that was until the drinks arrived and we saw the size!  Now this is a Mojito!!!

Do not talk to me, or stand between me and my Mojito!

Of course, when you are in Singapore you must go to Raffles for a Singapore Sling...
