Going to the dogs

Another late rise this morning after a poor nights sleep - I think the body remains in a different time zone - breakfast and then out into the humidity that is Singapore.

A walk around Burgis Junction and then to Suntec Plaza & Millenia Walk for lunch.

The streets are full of slow moving traffic as more road closures take effect for the F1 race, the first day of action being tomorrow. From the hotel one can see one of the corners of the circuit

however authorities have made sure with the erection of screens etc. that only paying patrons will have a view from close up!

Though life here is very orderly one suspects that for the majority of Singaporeans the weekend will create some chaos - imagine closing off a decent chunk of Auckland City for 4 or so days!

Sherry took the plunge and had her hair cut in the Zinc Korean Saloon in Millennia Walk this afternoon and came out looking a million dollars!

Outside Raffles City are a set of attractive statues of 4 dogs in different poses as photographers 

and it seemed appropriate that we took our final selfie on the trip in front of them

Effectively this is the last day of our holiday as tomorrow we check out of the hotel mid afternoon before flying out in the evening to home, so it is time to reflect

We will have been away for 83 days and will have visited 6 countries and each has in their own way added to the mosaic.

It is difficult (impossible even) to pick out a highlight as some of the trip is now hazy in the memory though once we are home and we review the blog and the many photos we took it will bring each day back into focus and allow us to relive our holiday.

There is no doubt that we have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and have had the good fortune to visit some wonderful countries, cities, villages, ancient ruins, historic buildings etc. all of which will be etched in our memories.

Despite all the bad things that are happening around the world travel remains the most educational and providing one is sensible it is still a safe activity - we hope that health and wealth permitting this is not the last time we can enjoy it.

Good bye         Hwyl fawr         Adios          Au revoir       Selamat Tinggal
