Valentine's Day!

This morning saw us tackling the Singaporean transport system, taking trains and buses to and from Changi museum out near the airport. All went amazingly smoothly, testimony to the efficiency and ease of all the transport networks rather than our navigational skills! Excellent value, too, with a 20km journey costing less than $2 (£1!)

The Changi museum tour continued where yesterday's Fort Canning bunker tour left off. The museum is on the site of the original POW camp and the museum is dedicated to the thousands of prisoners for whom Changi was "home" from 1942 to the end of WWII in 1945. Not surprisingly it was a poignant and sad visit but one that was also full of amazing stories of bravery, resilience and friendship. 

On a lighter note, we ended the day taking a nosey at how the "other half" live in the Raffles Hotel then meandered back along the marina, where the Chinese New Year festivities were in their final throes. The Esplanade (and route of the Singapore F1!) was awash with stalls and with families celebrating and having fun. 

Tomorrow, our last day in Singapore, will see us visiting the "Gardens by the Bay" before we head to Sydney. More piccies to follow.
