Sunday 11/6/11

Sunday was another fun filled day. I met up with a lady from Michigan who is working in Panang for a few months. She came to Singapore for the long weekend and was staying at the same hotel. She joined me in going to the zoo which was great. We ended up spending the entire day together goofing off. We took on of those hop on hop off tour bus things around town so we got to see the botanic gardens as well. We ended the evening with a nice dinner along the marina and then watched the 9:30 laser light show.

There was a long long line for a taxi back to the hotel so we decided to see if we could walk it. I had a map with me and sort of remembered where Bill & I had walked from last week so we struck out to find our way back to the hotel.

We finally figured it out after asking for directions a couple of times and keeping an eye on the hotel sign. The problem is you cant just walk across the street here. They have pedestrian bridges and maze like underground passes to get to where you need to go. We had to enter an adjacent hotel parking structure, that linked up to one mall, that linked to another just to get back to our hotel which we could see just across the street.

Oh well it was an adventure!

I zonked out and slept really well last night. Its 10:00 am on Monday and its a holiday here. Bill is going to show me Sentosa (sp?)island where the segway rides are. Should be fun!

I'll upload more pictures from the zoo later. There were white tigers!
