And they’re off!!! Our group are on their way to Singapore for a quick stop before carrying onto Paris…..

A day in Singapore. The flight was not too bad by all accounts but we were super tired and ready for bed. Morning at Gardens by the Bay with the Monet theme was extraordinary. We loved how they integrated Monet’s art aesthetic with with gardens and displays.

We delighted in the sculptures around the outdoor gardens before splitting off and having various independent activities. We finished the day with a lovely cheap eat at Komala Vilas just around corner from the hotel.

A 13 hour flight but with the dawn chasing behind us, we had a lot of time to sleep and try to reset our body clocks a bit. Once landed we took the transfer to the hotel and gathered again for a cuppa with the whole group.

In the afternoon a few of us went for a walk along the Paris highline Coulée Verte René-Dumont while others went exploring on the hop on hop off bus.

First day walking around Paris. Le Marais in the morning and then the Latin Quarter in the afternoon. Great team. Loved the impromptu Art critiques of the sculptures along the riverside! Beautiful day, beautiful people, beautiful vibe!
