Last day abroad

Tiled footpath in Little India

The Quincy

C & D left us early for the next leg of their holiday in the sunny Philippines. We had planned to go back to sleep but instead, after breakfast, set off on foot to Little India. We enjoyed the walk under the hot, blue, morning sky; seeing parts of Singapore that we'd not seen up close before.

Little India was still waking up, but it was good to see the old shop houses and smell the spicy aroma of the eating houses.

We ambled on to Arab Street for more fabric and then to Suntec City where was sat for a while at a coffee house with the locals, drinking kopi, strong coffee made with sweetened condensed milk and long poured to make it frothy.

Mosque at Arab Street

Suntec City is where we regularly buy running shoes - they're a third of the price they are at home. There were a couple of other shops to check out then it was time for lunch at a great burger place in the underground arcade, called 'Handburger'.

Our energy levels were running low by now so we trained it uptown for a last look at the shops.

Kopi

We bought some electronics from Sam at Lucky Plaza. I haven't been tempted in many years, but the prices for what I was after were very good this time.

Packing and a rest - we paid for a half day extra to allow us to check out at 7pm. So worth it when we're on a late flight, to be able to shower and change and then pack everything up at leisure.

I'm not ready to go home this time, but work is calling.
