Day 2:
Do to our, obviously much needed sleep. We awoke at at 630 am. Did our best not to awake the angry French men sharing the room with us.. ( that's a story Alyssa will have to share ) but then again, they are French. So who cares.
On our first venture out into Singapore we head towards Marina Bay, to walk along the "Olympic walk" and go to the top of the Marina bay sands hotel. To watch a $20 view from atop of the sky walk.
However on our plane ride here, we met an awesome guy, who just happened to have an old room key to this expensive resort. He gave it to us as a nice gesture to see if we could get to the top So we wouldn't have to pay a ridiculous elevator ride.
I'll leave the magnificent details out. But they key wouldn't work In the elevator. But that was a minor challenge.
A few Photo snaps of the view, and then we were getting towels and enjoying the amazing infinity pool! 57 floors up. While all the other tourists are stuck on the viewing platform envying those guests that are swimming and escaping the heat.
Despite having one of the most expensive beers I've had. It was well worth the sight.
After we ventured into little india. Enjoyed some amazing naam, and food. I decided to get a good shave from a barber, because my straight razor was too dull to shave with the night before.
We decided to escape the heat and go to Sim Lim square. 5 floors of brand new electronic stores that you can bargain with! I ended up with a new lens and some goodies for my camera. Saved about $600 and yes they all work.
Braving the heat we wondered our way to the botanical gardens. Suffering from the edge of heat exhaustion. We didn't enjoy it as much as we could have. Also nothing much was in bloom.
If we knew in advance, we would have brought a picnic and spent the day there.
After sluggishly making our way back to our hostel. And counting the bug bites. We decided to stay around china town. And plan the next couple days of or trip.
