Yesterday We had a walk to China town, as its the Chinese New year - or they seem to call it the Luna New year, there are loads of decorations for the year of the horse. There are shops that sell nothing but decorations, just like our Christmas shops. In the afternoon, we had our tour which included high tea at raffles Tiffin room, which was excellent! In the evening we went to the night safari at the zoo. It was an experience to get there - we took the tube and a bus. The tubes are amazing, they arrive behind a wall with doors, so there's no jumping onto the rails! The zoo was really busy, we understand because there are more of Chinese on holiday for the new year. however, once we got on the tram and walked around, it was quite fun. The trip back to hotel was better as we found a shuttle bus.
We booked our flights with Singapore airlines using their stop over facility: they gave us loads of vouchers for various attractions, so hardly any of what we've seen has cost us anything!
Today we took bus to the botanic and orchid gardens, they are very beautiful; it was much hotter and humid today though, so felt it walking around! Now at airport waiting to go to Auckland.
