Guide responded to my SMS that we were at the meeting place 20 mins before the scheduled. Star for the earpiece system which means no one miss out on what the guide is saying. Interesting history of Chijmes aided by the fact that within the group were students from Raffles, the girls convent etc. Great group dynamic. It was pouring down when we were touring Raffles Hotel which was a terrible shame, would have love to see more. Guide were thoughtful to keep us sheltered from the downpour. Bus came fairly quickly to take us to the boat trip. The boat trip was relaxed and informative due to its own speaker system which point out interesting sites during the ride. An outing that propels me to want to learn more of the history of Singapore.
