Had a great sleep in this morning, and after a very leisurely brekky at a Coffee Club cafe in Raffles City we decided to head over to Sentosa for a look. We caught the train down to Harbour Front and then got the cable car across to the island, very thankful that we were quite early and there were not that many people about!
It was pretty hot and very humid as is the norm for Singapore and so we caught one of the free tour buses for a drive around Sentosa, stopping at Siloso Beach for a walk along the beachfront - cooled a little by a nice breeze!
Not much had changed in the three years since we had been there, and as we rejoined the bus we went to the new Resorts World complex which looked very flash but was nearly deserted - the whole of Singapore is a lot quieter this time round - before we decided enough was enough and caught the cable car back to Harbour Front!
We grabbed a drink and a snack and had a look around the huge shopping centre there and then got the MRT back to City Hall and our hotel. Shopping was on the girl's minds and so Den and Sue headed one way, Mumsie headed another and I went and got a couple of new covers for my phone, had the sales girl fit new protective screens to it and the went back to our room for a nap and a chance to finish up my blog!
I had bought 24 hours of in room Wifi at the hotel - and at SD$28.95 for the day, what a bloody rip off - so I got a chance to upload all my entries and check bank etc as well.
Mumsie arrived back much later looking decidedly grumpy and declared that Singapore shopping was crap, everything was extremely expensive and she had bought nothing! Hello??? Mumsie not buy anything??? Wow, wonders will never cease!
Later on we met Den and Sue for a drink and then got a taxi over to Clarke Quay - it was still bloody hot which made it unpleasant - but the meal we had was good and it cooled down as the evening went on.
So our free recovery day in Singapore was over and tomorrow we head for home!
