Sunday 29th March
Singapore
This morning we took a taxi to the airport to check our flight for tomorrow and found that all was OK and that we are on the upper deck of an Airbus A380-800. We think that the airport is beautifully designed and very clean and spacious.


We then took a taxi to the top of Mount Faber from where we got some good views of downtown Singapore.

From here we took a 1.6 kilometre cable car ride over to Sentosa Island. In the distance there were scores of cargo vessels awaiting entry to the port.

The cable car passed directly over the cruise liner terminal where Pete and Carolynn's ship had been yesterday. On our return the ship in the picture had sailed away and was not even in sight.

On the edge of Sentosa Island is the site of a brand new resort which will open in 2010. There is a lot of construction going on right now in Singapore.

We visited 'Images of Singapore' which describes and explains the heritage of Singapore through life sized figures and special effects. It was very interesting, varied and very extensive.

We had just returned to the hotel to pack when there was a monsoon type storm with thunder, forked lightning and heavy rain which lasted for an hour. It was quite entertaining to watch it from the comfort of our room.

Tomorrow is our last flight, thirteen and a half hours, back to Heathrow.
