| St Andrews Cathedral |
Our last day in Singapore which means more bag packing later, but for this morning a walk to St. Andrew's cathedral and Singapore cricket ground is our final objective. The walk isn't far but in 33 C heat with a breeze it's like walking in a fan assisted oven. The cathedral is lovely just like one of our English churches but all in white on the outside. The surprise is the walls being painted blue inside but this enhances the stained glass windows.
The cricket ground is just across the road next to Singapore's highest hotel. As cricket grounds go it's small, no fencing and surrounded by busy roads. It must be a challenge fielding by the boundary here, I wonder if any of them get run over!

By now Dave and I are so hot and have probably lost pounds in weight in the outside sauna, we need an air conditioned mall. At last one appears like a mirage, we rush inside behind all the other boiled people and follow them to the lift up several floors before getting out. Oops we seem to have followed a couple of locals home but at least the public areas are air conditioned, self consciously we return to the ground floor and search out the mall entrance. We work our way back to the hotel hoping from air conditioned area to icecream shop to micro brewery - black raspberry beer is lovely nothing like normal lager.
And so to packing, once it's done it's time for cocktail hour in the lounge, such a hard decision what to have...
