This morning the sky opened and opened and opened even more. That fabulous tropical rain that drenches you with five drops. We were in Little India at the time. Very interesting shops with embroidered cushions, pashmina and more. Beautiful patterns and colours.
Then it was around town a bit more till we arrived at Chinatown Market and Temple. Temple very grand. Market very smelly, but managed to bear the smell long enough to buy something beautiful for Laura's 8th birthday. (This Grandma has been away for more of Laura's birthday's than she has been there for.)
Back to the hotel area for lunch and a wee rest. 3pm the coach collected us again for our surprise - high Tea at Raffles Hotel. The grandeur of Raffles has not diminished. It's grown significantly since I was last here in the last 70's. The news buildings are identical to the originals. Very well done.
We are back at the hotel again until the coach collects us for our journey to the airport. Our flight departs for Paris at just after midnight and is about 12 hours long. At least it will be dark so there should be a chance to sleep.
Today we have had a fabulous Guide, Lawrence who is very proud that on his trip to New Zealand he took a photo of the Lawrence Fire Station. Not everyone has their own fire station.
We have been very privileged to have been driven by Mr Key. Look a bit different to ours, but with modern surgery techniques who knows?
I'm off for a swim now - or should I go shopping?
Au revior,
Lesley & the Travellers
