Wednesday - Singapore Fun - nearly the last post

We thought we had successfully overcome jet lag. Sleeping in until after 10am was not part of the plan.
John doesn’t even know if he has ever slept in that long.

Getting back on the bike in Brisbane will be tough. Getting up after 10am with a minimum temp of 24 is a little different from a 4am start in Brisbane where the minimum temp is well below 10 at the moment. Perhaps John will hold off on calling his cycling buddies until it is warmer ;-)
The good thing about the church we attend is that it is air-conditioned. No excuses for non-attendance there.

We eventually drifted out of our hotel room by lunchtime. Then it was off to shop.

After that we met up with our friends Eugene and Jenny. Eugene healed John’s hip last time we were in Singapore. He hasn’t had a problem with his hip since.
Anyway, we went out for dinner to the East Coast Lagoon Food village. All was good and we were trusting their choices in food.
The satay chicken was fabulous. The banana, apple and orange juice was refreshing, particularly given how hot it was.
The sugar cane drink with a lime twist was a delight. Even the stingray was OK. Yep, we allowed ourselves to be talked into stingray. It was actually very good.

This our last night in Singapore. Tomorrow night we fly to Brisbane, with arrival Friday morning.

There will be a post on the weekend to wrap things up. This blog is important to us as it is an important record of all our experiences. (the ones we could publish anyway - some stories can only be revealed verbally )

To those who have ready any of the blogs, thanks for coming along on our journey. We trust it provided some education, inspiration, entertainment, and insight into what we got up to.
