Day: November 15, 2014

Had a great couple of days here.   Suffered from a bit of jet lag but 13 hrs sleep last night has helped!  Botanic gardens were stunning.  Especially the orchids.  Only 5 dollars to see them  (£2.50).  Rest is free.  Then after a short break in pool it was off to the a Raffles hotel for a Gin Sling.  I wasn’t crazy about long bar, bit steamy and smelly for my liking.  I enjoyed mine in the lovely bar downstairs and it was freshly made.    Dinner at the Quays.  Today we went to China town which I loved.  Amazing bargains.  £5 for beach dress. Pretty hair slide – £1.50.  I have paid £12 for same in UK.  Tonight lovely dinner in the Marina Bay Sands, really looking forward to that.  Early start tomorrow going to Malacca by train.  X
