SINGAPORE - Wednesday

We had a little sleep in this morning. Last night we had dinner at the hotel. As Singapore Stopover clients, all meals at hotel restaurants are half price! What a bonus! The International Buffet was delicious. Fresh prawns, mussels and scallops, as well as a host of other interesting dishes. We were most impressed!

It was the same with breakfast - all sorts of interesting fare - including my favourite - omelette made to order.

After breakfast we caught the hop on bus to Orchard Road, the famous shopping precinct of Singapore. It didn't take us long to work out we wouldn't be buying anything - Armani, Dolce & Gabana, Prada, etc etc.

As we were walking along the road, there was a tropical storm. It started raining, absolutely pelting down! Of course we hadn't brought umbrellas, so we got soaked. It was very funny! 

We eventually found Lucky Plaza, which was more of the type of stuff we had seen in China Town, as well as shoes, clothes, etc, that locals were buying.

From there we went to Raffles Hotel, intending to enjoy a Singapore Sling. However, at $27 we chose to take photos instead!

The bus then took us to theSingapore Flyer, where the driver took a break. We used one of our stopover vouchers to get a coffee/tea and a serve of kaya toast each. Kaya toast is a bit like cinnamon toast - quite tasty!

Back to the hotel at 3.10pm, we checked out at 4.00pm and waited for the shuttle bus at 5.00pm. Peak hour traffic got us to the airport at about 6 15pm. 

So, we're on our way home. The plane is boarding now!
