Singapore - Old and New

As always we hit the ground running in Singapore. Thanks to our fabulous hosts Dion and Alex for putting up with us/ putting us up once more. We had the usual admin and banking to sort out and our good friends to catch up with. We loved our old favourites like High Tea at the Shangri La, PS Café and Delhi Restaurant. We also loved the night life in Club Street and Ann Siang Hill, which didn't exist when we lived here. What good food at Ding Dong restaurant! We did a pretty good job of exhausting first time visitors Stephen and Vivienne with a jam packed 48hrs in Singapore.
