I wanted to see Boogie Street again - where I had purchased Barb's engagement ring when I was over with the RNZAF to bring back the Canberra Squadron (I thought it was 14 Sqn but Wikipedia seems to suggest it was 75 Sqn?)
Anyway at the time the C130 aircrew were only interested in chilling out in the bar of the accommodation - I guess they had been there, done that with Boogie Street. So I headed off on my own and duly made a purchase.
Seems Boogie Street was short hand for Bugis Street, so Barb and I headed there in the rain to see if anything look familiar to me but, no time had moved on and the markets were more 'up market' shall we say and a little cleaner, and more under shelter than I recalled...
It probably was just as well that there was shelter as the forecast was for rain in the morning easing by the afternoon
So off we went on a little explore, not really sure whether we were doing a loop of the whole area or just getting lost in stores and goods that caught our eye. There seemed to be alley ways all over the place.
Umbrellas were to the fore
If umbrellas and awnings don't keep all the rain at bay, maybe cardboard can be used.
An innovative use of a cluster of umbrella between one awning and the guttering.
Time we quit and find a reasonably dry place to hail a taxi
