It’s a much shorter post today because there really isn’t a massive amount of things to report.
We had several options planned but in the end did something completely different instead. As predicted yesterday evening, we had overdone it and were both feeling the effects of the day’s activities. So after a leisurely breakfast we decided a gentle walk along the river on the opposite side to the one had used exclusively up until now would be a good idea.
Once again the weather was kind to us and although still very warm and humid there was a welcome gentle breeze every now and then.
We passed a few things of interest along the way including a few bronze statues. They do like their bronze statues here in Singapore because there are so many of them scattered all over the place.
Considering the forecasts before leaving the UK, the weather has been very kind to us for our two days in Singapore, better than we could have hoped for.
We didn’t break any records this morning and it was nice to see a different aspect of the river than the one we were familiar with.
We walked as far as the Fullerton Hotel and then took a quick peak inside to see the large atrium of this grand old building.
We then went around to the opposite side to get a close up of the Merlion which being a Sunday was extremely busy with tourists and many locals having picnics. I managed to take a few photos without the selfie hunters spoiling the view.
This was as far as we walked today opting to return to the hotel on our normal side of the river.
We stopped en route for some liquid refreshment and a couple of plates of bar food so as not to ruin our appetite for our dinner date in the evening.
On reaching the hotel I ended up talking a nap for a couple of hours which was absolutely the right thing to do.
At 5:30 ish, our cruise buddies from Norwegian Jade picked us up and took us to a vegan restaurant called Whole Earth which is the first and only Peranakan-Thai vegetarian restaurant in Singapore.
We let our hosts make some selections for us and they chose several dishes that they thought we should try and hopefully enjoy which we did. We spent almost 3 ½ hours chatting and catching up and it was a really enjoyable evening. After dropping us back off at the hotel and saying our goodbyes the rest they say is history as we retired early for the evening to try and catch up with some more sleep.
Thank you Brian and Jason for a fantastic evening. ????
My Fitbit still recorded just short of 14,000 steps today so we didn’t completely take our foot off the pedal and tomorrow we leave the hotel and embark on the Celebrity Solstice for our 4th cruise on her.
Now that sounds like a perfect day after the one before it.
