Singapore We are back in Singapore on our way home. A few days to get used to the idea. It's great that Glenys is with us because we can show her our favourite places and discover her own. Back in the Marina Mandarin	We visited the fire station museum for the first time
The obligatory sculpture outside the museum	Sculpture in the old Hill Street Police Station that was the first gaol in Singapore.
Colourful windows of the old police station which is now known as the MICA Building and used for meetings.	The Central Shopping Mall that was under construction when we came last year.
	Back to the favourite - Clarke Quay
Chinatown
Glenys records her visit	Septemebr will see Singapore stage the first night F1 Grand Prix, around the streets of the city. There was a promotional event with Mika Hakkinen running a McLaren F1 car on a small part of the circuit, which involved closing quite a few roads on the Sunday afternoon.
Kairen persuaded an official photographer to take her camera into the garage.	We were there early and bagged the best seats on the road.  High up and no-one in front of us.
It soon filled up with spectators.	Every vantage point used.
It wasa long wait for the event......
Glenys negotiating the climb down from our vantage point.
We are back on Clarke Quay...well there's a surprise!

Another day and we stop for lunch
Bird sculpture on Boat Quay	poops!
