Spike takes in the sights of Singapore river
Day 2 /3….Singapore to Paris. ……The Connecting Spirits journey has begun and after a full day in Singapore on Wednesday 8th, it was time for the long haul flight to Paris.
Our Singaporean experience was rich with cultural immersion of all the senses as we shared in the story of this amazingly resilient and innovative nation.
The Malay and Indian sectors filled our morning with a superb Indian lunch with all the gorgeous tastes and smells of its rich cuisine.
The afternoon changed focus to the stories of WW2 and as we made our way to our first commemoration at Kranji war cemetery, the true purpose of the tour became apparent. In the afternoon heat Nigel shared the story of his relative Colin Treloar a young air airman shot down in the prelude to the Pacific war.
Finishing the day at Changi museum the group was not left in any doubt about the horrors of war….something they will continue to feel for the next 3 weeks.

My husband and I went to Villers Bretonneux and I saw your card on Francis Alban Varcoe. I stood still and had him in my thoughts.
What a wonderful project you are doing.
