First day in Singapore was a beauty  - visited the Botanic Gardens an went through the National Orchid Garden which was so so colourful.  I  do like my gardens.  I brought my own tick from Australia....whats new  I   am just a tick magnet - Jim pulled it off the back of my head - knew he was  not just along for the ride.   The hop on hop off bus is a good way to get around.   Early start tomorrow - off to  London  it will be good to leave the humidity of the tropics.   Helen
