Singapore
This morning we took a taxi down to Raffles Hotel to see where we are going to meet Pete and Carolynn on Saturday for a gin sling. It is a lovely hotel set in lush gardens with fountains.
We walked a few blocks towards town to see Sculpture Square, an area of galleries and sculptures.
We walked a little further to visit Singapore Art Museum which is set in two very old buildings linked by a walkway. We saw some things that we liked and some which were more esoteric.

No photography was allowed in the museum but we enjoyed a rest in one of the central courtyards. The umbrella is to provide shade, not shelter from the rain.
After a short break to cool off at our hotel, we strolled back to the Botanic Gardens. This time we took a different route through an area we had not visited before.
Singapore's national orchid collection is housed in the Botanic Gardens and was well worth our visit.
We were amazed by the thousands of beautiful orchids on display in their natural surroundings.
These are just a few of the highlights.
