Day 7 - Singapore to Aukland

Lots of pictures today but not a lot of comment as we did not have too much time at Singapore airport and so it is now being completed in Aukland where we have arrived safely.  Yesterday we were very surprised and delighted to find that Raffles had organised a "Lion Dance" in the reception area to celebrate Chinese New Year.  It was spectacular and very well done - the highlight of our holiday so far!  I took a video of the actual dance and haven't been able to find a way of including it in the blog - it is about 10 minutes long and so perhaps on a later day.  After the dance we had some time to kill and went to the harbour front which was not too special but there was a monorail which took people to a reclaimed, touristy island which we did not get to this time.  We then returned to Raffles and said goodbye including to probably the most famous doorman in the world.  Our taxi took us to the airport and we caught the overnight flight to Aukland.
