Last stop. Left Arron at Dubai airport as he is on his way back to Brisbane.
While we are staying in Singapore, to indulge in some rest, before we return to the dry.
Today we ventured over to the Botanical gardens. Had a delightful wander for 4 hours, to be chased away by thunderous rain after lunch . . .

back to hotel for a rest.
Caught a taxi to Little India. Celebrations went on all night. We stayed in the shopping centers, as they are open 24 hours and air conditioned. Interesting array of goods. When we came out around midnight there were thousands of people and the traffic was at a standstill.
Had to walk to the Hilton to ask them to call a taxi . . . I bought a couple of extravagant, over the top pieces. (I will be ready for when we go to our next Indian wedding.) Also, some batik material and some embroidered silk. . .promise, that is it!
Quiet day - reading and relaxing followed by a taxi drive around the city.
Today we wandered over to Garden by the Bay. And it was 6 hours later, when we left and still did not see everything. Loved it. We have already agreed there will be a next time!
Lovely and cool inside the domes. Flowers are magnificent.
Time to hang around the hotel resting has been a real bonus . . .
Time to return to Brisbane. We departed the Rusty Roo late August and now return early November.
We organized for someone to look after the property, garden and animals, but with no rain while we have been away, we are now anxious to get back and water . . . and feed the animals.
(While away I took over 3,000 photos. Trying to pick which ones to include has been difficult.)
It has been a real joy to see so many places.
