After our cruise, we spent the day enjoying Singapore one more time before flying 15 hours to Vancuver via Hong Kong. We departed at 8:15PM and arrived in Vancouver 10 minutes later at 8:25PM. We basically stayed up all night watching movies, so we're very tired and slept for 12 hours straight. We drove to Seattle the next afternoon and have been enjoying the city. We went up the famous space needle tower (from the 1962 World's Fair) and toured the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum, which was absolutely spectacular. Dale Chihuly is a glass artist who makes the most beautiful glass art pieces. We ended up down at the waterfront having lunch at the Pike Place Market. Off tomorrow to drive to Port Angles and take the ferry to Victoria.

View from the space needle tower of Seattle on a very overcast day
The pieces of glass art works by Dale Chihuly were spectacularly beautiful
These are all hand blown glass
This hanging piece was huge
There were also many outdoor garden glass sculptures
We watched a demonstration of glass blowing
Downtown Seattle was not as big as we expected.
It had the flavour of a nice west coast small city
Pike's Place Market down at the waterfront was a happening place to be seen
Lots of goods for sale, especially fish
A couple of complimentary pictures with our entrance fee tickets
