Steamboat dinner

Walking from Dhoby Gaut to Fort Canning we found a chameleon hiding in the bushes...it was on the footpath but must have got such a fright when we came along it rushed into these bushes.

Walking along the river we always have to stop and look at these beautiful shutters.

At the rivers edge we found this bird wading in the water...think it is bitten of some sort.

and right next door was this monitor lizard.

We met up with some friends and had steamboat for dinner....you can barbecue and have a soup as well. You pay $19 for all the meat and and greens and seafood you can eat. You cook it all yourself

We are hoping our wonderful brother-in-law can create this for us to use back home.

We then walked to see some of the lights near City Hall - 0n our way to catch the train home. This is Raffles Hotel all decked out for Christmas.

Wayne is standing below a metal Christmas Tree outside Raffles City.

The road sign telling us how Glitzy Marina Bay is.

Orchard Christmas Dinner

Orchard staff had a great night out on the 9th November, thanks to the organisational skills of Donna. We met at City Hall and the rain was pouring down we thought we would not get out and may have to change plans. We had a drink at Dirty Nellies before meeting with Molly, Claodia, Clayton and Rick at the flyer. Molly and her lovely children.

Our savie navie with her map of Singapore,

Wayne, Ruth, Joan, Carolyn, Greg, Donna, Molly and Rick - the fabulous Orchard team.

We caught a bus to our next port of call, dinner at Chijmes, they even manages to organise an empty bus.

We started outside, ordering our meal and drinks and then it started to drizzle a little and the locals decided that we should go inside...I believe the locals here do melt...at least our ones are so sweet!

And what is Christmas without a Christmas Tree.
