20th November 2019

 

A guided walking tour in the morning that took in the colonial district and then on to the Marina. Here we saw the Merlion –  the symbol of the city and the opera house which is currently being cleaned (hence the men on top).

We continued through the Central Business District until we came to Chinatown. It is so odd to see temples and churches nestled at the bottom of multi-storey buildings.

We were also struck by some of the city sculptures.

Left to our own devices in the afternoon we headed towards Littlia India but the experience was slightly marred by another rainstorm of epic proportions. Once over we strolled around the area and saw the signs of the recently celebrated Deepvali.

Back to the hotel for a quick change before heading back into Chinatown for supper.
