A morning coach tour, Afternoon Tea at Raffles Hotel and eating out at the Fullerton Bay Hotel this evening.

Thian Hock Kong Temple

Taoist temple built with no nails and Scottish wood.
The little kumquat trees are like Christmas trees for the Chinese New Year

The Botanical Gardens

National Orchid Gardens
Unbelievably humid with steam sprays to keep it that way.

Raffles AFTERNOON TEA

The Grand Lobby
We needed 3 pots of tea.
Crab sandwich with curry bread, smoked salmon with squid ink bread + other sandwiches.
5 different pastries, the apple one was my favourite, a little dessert then scones with cream and jam accompanied with Earl Grey tea, all quite delicious in beautiful surroundings.
Relaxing in the shade.
We didn’t make it to the Long Bar and our Gin Slings!
Cooling off in our hotel pool.

Evening out with Philip and Wei Yu, our Liff ex next door neighbours.

Instead of the Gin Slings, we have had a delightful evening at the rooftop Lantern Bar in the Fullerton Bay Hotel with Philip, Wei Yu, Wei Yu’s sister and brother in law.

Rooftop pool at the Lantern Bar.
Note the sun beds In the water!
If only I could keep my eyes open!
We had an excellent view of the Chinese New Year fireworks.
Just a short clip.
Chinese New Year decorations at the taxi queue.
Saying farewell after a lovely evening.

We will fly to Auckland via Sydney tomorrow afternoon. I think we will lose another night to airplanes.
