We have now disembarked from our ship and are enjoying the last day in Singapore before heading down under!

The country’s national icon is that of a mythical Merlion. The fish-like body symbolizes Singapore’s origins as a fishing village and its head represents the city’s original name of Singapura (lion city in Sanskrit).

I had to make do with photographing Baby Merlion (including a pesky pigeon on its head that would not move!) as the full-sized version which stands 28-feet tall and weighs 70 tonnes is being renovated! 

En route to Adelaide, there is a Lego Merlion for sale in Singapore airport!
