It's overcast and looks like rain but who cares - we have only one commitment which is afternoon tea at Raffles, a famous Singapore tradition pre-booked from home. I collect afternoon teas (refuse to say high tea) - so far The Ritz in London wins. Just as Michael and Catherine promised taxis are cheap and for $5.50 one takes us to Marina Bay Sands hotel which is the fabulous Singapore hotel with the rooftop infinity pool. Could one just pour over the edge with the water? We don't get to find out today because the next tour conflicts with afternoon tea but the lobby is an amazing experience with a huge steel sculpture filling the airspace. The Shoppes are of the expensive Bulova/Dior type so we don't bother. Catherine says that shopping is a sport in Singapore and can take all weekend for the whole family in the many many airconditioned malls. Her hospital where she is podiatrist is not airconditioned and they suffered greatly in the recent smog pollution.
A stroll along the river where we went last night shows us a gorgeous sculpture and a restaurant offering crodos - a cross between a croissant and doughnut with the bonus for David of custard. Must be 3 million calories. Bonus for me is an amazing living green wall.
