Singapore

Don't think I slept at all on the flight from Singapore last night, so was feeling exhausted by the time I went into the city this morning. It was typical tropical weather - very hot, humid, and the sweat was pouring off me as I walked around. Went to the Boat Quay area, one of the old commercial areas of the city, that apparently was seen as being a good omen for business as the bend of the river was like the belly of a carp. Some of the old godowns are still there but it's very touristy now, with al fresco dining all along the river front, where last time I was here (some 30yrs ago) it was a bustle of commercial activity.

So I'm feeling a little refreshed now after a shower and a sleep in the Rainforest Lounge at the airport. Had such a long shower; what a luxury after so long of 4 minute showers in Brisbane - I'd forgotten how good it felt!

And off to Delhi in a couple of hours.
