The air conditioning in Vivo City was a welcome relief. We wandered around the vast complex. There wasn't too much noteworthy other than the ToysRus store.
Now this is a serious toy store. ToyRus has vanished from Australia a few years ago so it was a bit strange seeing this one, and it is vast!
Something slightly irritating about Singapore & especially the shopping malls, is the lack of places to sit down. We did find this small spot to take a load off our weary legs. A week of walking around in the heat & humidity has taken its toll.
We popped out onto a viewing deck from one of the upper levels. Front the deck, we looked across the water over to Sentosa Island.
Another storm was closing in and it arrived so quickly that it caught us out and out of position. The temperature plummetted. Luckily, we were able to find shelter but couldn't get back inside the complex until the torrential rain abaited.
Eventually we navigated our way back into the shopping area and stumbled into a small hawkers market on a lower level of the complex. There were only a few people in there so there were plenty of places to sit. The food was pretty good and a reasonable price.
After lunch, we hopped on a double decker bus (much to Harry's delight), and managed to snag seats up top right against the front windscreen.
The bus carried us through Chinatown and back to our hotel.
Our bags were waiting for us as we'd left them at reception since we set off this morning. We're staying out near the airport tonight beacause we have one last tourist attration to visit tonight & an early flight tomorrow that can do without the hour commute on the train before hand. And so off we went for one last walk from the hotel to Fort Canning Metro station with its familiar statues at the entrance.
