Singapore #2

Orchard road is several kilometres long and has all the big brand name shops and once again has trees lining it. As with the malls, there didn't seem to be many people in the shops.

Views of the city centre.

After another stop off in little India a little man led us though a maze of market shops to a lady who measured Pen up for a shirt. The woman had a regular customer from Oamaru who used to come over every year to get clothes made. Unfortunately they are not as cheap as we expected - maybe we didn't haggle enough.  The only problem was that although the tailor had made a beautiful job of the shirt and delivered it to the hotel the next day, he had made it with the wrong material. 

Another stop was Chinatown where there were many more markets.

Our impressions of the city were the cleanliness, the lack of bikes and we saw 2 police men the whole time. No sirens and people picking up leaves and the smallest pieces of rubbish. 

On the last day we checked out of our hotel at 2 pm and had a long wait at the airport for our flight to London. It was meant to leave at 11.30pm but due to a new fuel pump having to be fitted we finally took off at 1.30am.
