2nd day in Singapore

We hopped on a bus tour here to get an idea of what the city had to offer. I was surprised that the cost  was only about £12 each - A big big difference to the £30 we paid in Sydney 4 weeks ago. With a thriving economy and strong exchange rate Australia is an expensive place to visit - everything seemed to be at least 20 - 30% more expensive than the UK. Still, you can't go diving on a coral reef in England either so vive la difference!
Breakfast!

Christmas in Singapore 
Chinatown
Yes it's got one of these - where hasn't nowadays. 
And this is the Marina Bay Sands hotel - 2560 rooms in there apparently
We went to a sea food restaurant tonight and indulged in some lobster
And monster oysters - with a monster price tag!
A lovely meal in an outside restaurant by the river. Unfortunately I should have asked if the seafood was locally caught - it isn't - it's imported from Australia and judging by what they charged me for the oysters they fly them in business class....... (£8 each if you were wondering)
So we head for the airport tomorrow morning to go home.
