Blisters and Humidity

A day on Orchard Road in Singapore

03.09.2011 - 03.09.2011 32 °C

Not a bad day,. Started late with a simple breakfast in the Pan Pacific. The Global Kitchen, as its name suggests, provides all sorts of variety for food.

Then we loaded up with bugga all and left to wander Singapore. There wasn't much of a plan so we decided to shoot up to Orchard Road where all the great shopping is. It wasn't quite as close as the map suggested, hell Alison started on the "Are we there yet ?" comments. But we made it, having discovered that jandels were probably a poor choice of footwear and that blisters seem to come pairs. Anyway learning's from this will have us wandering about in shoes looking like the tourist dorks we are.

Orchard Road was great, though I think we didn't give it the time it deserved, blisters and all. Lots of the normal mall type shops but with heaps more choice. Saw a nice jacket, but didn't get it, hell we're going to Italy after all.

On making our way back we got caught in the Singapore Computer show -Comex 2011 - Shit what a crowd, couldn't move, was even easy not wanting to go see the gadgets.

So the day was done. Next time I'd want to go to all the great suggestions everyone came up with, to late :-( Or at least grab the city hop-on, hop-off bus that does the circuit.

So time now in Changi airport, 3 hours before our 1 am flight to Rome and the body clock feels we should be asleep. Perhaps I should grab those drugs of Alison's, though suspect it would result in some of my body parts being ripped off....perhaps not. She's already suggested that the pleasant zombi-like state they put her in, makes me almost bearable ;-)
