It was great to visit Singapore. I have only been there once before and that was a long time ago. So long I did not really remember or recognise anything. I ran the marina most mornings as well as walking day drip exploring the area with @conscoiucat. One of our first stops was to check out the famous Merlion who was put at the harbour years ago to greet and welcome ships and travellers as they arrived in Singapore. Unfortunately the Merlion was under repair and was covered in scaffold so we could not even get a glimpse.

Though there was a baby Merlion nearby.

I took this photo of the Merion and Singapore while I was back packing there in 1991. Wow hasn’t it changed. There is another two bridges in front of the white Anderson bridge, lots more buildings and the marina boardwalk. You can just make out the white Merlion just left of centre.

Sorry about the zooming in, low quality and photo damage but it is 32 years old. I am lucky to still have it.

It get so hot and humid in Singapore that they even have outdoor solar fans. I think it was too early for it to be working but the shade was still great.

We headed back to our China town accommodation by cutting straight through the middle of down town which saved us a couple of kilometres.

The architecture in Singapore is cool and different to back home.
