Day 36 Singapore (Part 2 of 2)

Today I did a little something different…  I took a tour, which I normally shy away from but in this case I made an exception.  My friend John also is the American Express Mariner representative, a travel consortium which I am a part of…  We headed ot very early in the morning and went to Raffles Hotel first for a quick tour.  Then it was off to the  National Orchid Garden, a definite highlight!  Then it was off to Little India and Chinatown.  This included a Trishaw in Little India.  Our guide Desmond told me that since I was a single I should ride in the back…  Still trying to figure that one out.  I really loved the view of nothing but other Trishaws in front of me to look at as we toured around.  Our last stop was a Dim Sum lunch at the Singapore Recreation Club, Padang.  The lunch just kept coming…  It was a lovely day, John did a nice job!!!  Oh yeah, almost forgot…  despite promising myself today would be a single blog, it will be two parts, once again…  too many orchids.  Here is the rest of the photos

  1. Hi Jeff....
    Do you think the 'boat tri-building' is accepted as a work of art, or in time will become a simple eyesore? When was it built? Is there some societal meaning to the boat top deck?
    Enjoy your adventure.

  2. Jeff, Two parts to the blog or three. We enjoy as many pictures as you can manage to give us. To tell you the truth, I can't imagine how you could eliminate any of them. How do you choose between the flowers,people, or environs? Don't bother choosing....just keep them coming. Beachlady
