Singapore, another GP city circuit and cats that fish in the night

What a city Singapore is!. We arrived late on Tuesday night and spent the next day on a city tour which included the fabulous orchid section of the Botanical Gardens and a trip on the Flyer, the Singapore version of the London Eye from which you can see the start finsh straight and pits of the GP circuit directly underneath.

The next day we went to the Batttle Box on Fort Channing, an undergound WW2 bunker from where the decision was made to surrender to Japan in 1942, a very moving place with excellent animatronics. Last night we took the Night Safari tour a night time tour of jungle with wild animals visible in very low light conditions. We saw many different animals including rats the size of sheep and cats that fish, really.

Today we visited the National Museum of Singapore, a fabulous building witha new extension where we saw the history section and an excellent display of the french haute cuture and theatre costumier, Christian Lacroix. which was stunning. We are now getting ready to fly home after a superb trip.
