Singapore - so much fun and so little time. The ship didn't arrive until early afternoon so we had limited time today. I've been to Singapore before and spent the late afternoon, with Mary and Steve, on Orchard Rd - very famous shopping street in Singapore.
We had to take the MRT (subway) to get to Orchard Street - I'm public transportation skills are pretty rusty. Wonderful underground system though, all you need is a visa card (or you can buy a passcard) and off you go. After our mall shopping we headed to Lau Pa Sat also famous but this time for food. The area used to be on the waterfront and was filled with small vendors - now it's a bit more like a mall food court. Although few North American food courts boast Michelin recognition.
We arrived around 6pm and so had to wait until 7pm for the satay vendors, who are on the street, and the street closes to get our food. Fortunately there was a local craft brewery stall very near buy.
We had a fabulous time eating prawn, chicken and beef satay with peanut sauce.
Thursday I was on my own and took the MRT to the Marina Sands Mall. Had a lovely time walking around, bought some macarons, had lunch and then returned to the ship cruise terminal, also full of shops and restaurants. The terminal also had a foot soak, reflexology and back and shoulder massage place - I spent an hour being pampered. All in all a great two days! Wish Adrian was here...
