Walked and walked !

Up early this morning because of time difference and set off to find the gardens by the bay which had been recommended to us as worth a visit, got sidetracked and visited the 5 star bays and. Com where on the 57 floor they have the largest swimming pool at that height in the world all 150 metres of it with an infinity edge -incredible but sad that that no non residents were permitted to use it. This is taken from the viewing platform that public can pay about £8 to go to. The white bouys in the river are wishing bouys, people write messages on them and they are then taken out and tethered in the bay till January 1st, by which time there will be 25,000 of them. After that it was hop on the spotless and very modern underground to china town - great place , although there was a distinct lack of enthusiasm when I suggested we visit again tonight as the lanterns etc would be lit . A long hike back to hotel after which the clouds appeared and the heavens opened.
