Last day in Singapore. Hijacked by a taxi driver into visiting a jewellery warehouse so that he could gain a $6 fuel voucher. Taxis fares are so cheap they need to suppliment their income somehow. Breakfasted at our favourite spot at Vivo City where Judle's determination paid off, finally getting her basil omelet. Bit of shopping done before hopping on a train to find the Mint toy museum. 5 floors of all sorts of toys, including Astro Boy and Betty Boop. Walking, walking, walking and stumbling across NoodleStar for a lovely late lunch. More walking to Suntec City to make it in perfect time to see the Fountain of Wealth going and then stop so we could participate in the wishing ritual. It is said if you touch the fountain it brings you great wealth. Our next aim to go to the Singapore Flyer to see the city at night from up high. This made near impossible by the Formula One taking over that part of the city. Ever felt like a rat in a maze? We can tell you how that felt. Bonus - seeing the practice cars racing around the track up close!! With Judle's great communication, a lot of very helpful locals and a bucket load of determination we made it. And was it worth it what!! Awesome. What a great finish to an adventurous stay in a very pretty and friendly country. Typing this as we fly 13 hours to UK, currently over Russia, for the next exciting leg. Write to you there. Love to family and friends xx
