A Lovely Day in Singapore

Today it didn’t rain so we were able to go downtown to Orchard Road, Singapore to look at the street decorations.

The weather was cool and it was a real treat to walk along the wide pavement enjoying the beautiful decorations put up for Christmas.  There weren't too many people so it was an enjoyable, easy walk.

Below are some of the lovely decorations for your enjoyment.

               Year which is around the corner (Feb 8 & 9, 2016)

These lights will come on at night, making the whole of Orchard Road a twinkling fairyland.
