Day 16, Singapore

Arrived at the port in Singapore this AM.  We are not 100% confident we will be allowed off the ship, and whether we will be quarantined, so we are very happy to put our feet on soil.  The tour group we booked with are here with a bus to pick us up to take us to our hotel, it is a different hotel than the one we were at when we first came here, and a better location.

Back in Singapore harbour


We arrive at our hotel and first thing I do is ask concierge to help me find a way to get Nicoles suitcase to her in Vietnam.  He says give him some time and he will find a way.  We have a knock on our door it is the concierge with a whole bunch of paperwork for me to read for shipping the luggage by mail.  I must take all of the liquids out of the suitcase, unfortunately that is a lot of what is in the suitcase.  All set to go and the concierge walks us over to the post office in a mall close by and helps us get the suitcase wrapped up.  Fingers crossed that it gets to Nicole in one piece.

On the drive to our hotel we passed by some elephant sculptures, we had walked by here earlier last week, but never saw this.  First thing is to find those elephants!


Our hotel is in Little India, so we see more of some of the spots we visited last week.  We didn't bother going anywhere else this time, just spent our time walking around Little India.

A yummy Indian lunch, nothing too hot today and we could eat it all .




Liked these staircases 
On a mural hunt again, they are really amazing


Back at the hotel, Andre goes to see what was going on at the park next to the hotel.  Not much going on at the moment, probably more of a evening thing.

Carpet made out of rice 




Back to Little India for some sightseeing and supper.




Found a restaurant for Dim Sum for supper.  Shared a bunch of things that the recommended, can't tell you exactly what we ate, but it was good

We got this from  one of the cooks was passing a tray to the staff and offered us some. We took one piece. Was kinda sweet and gooey.  Not sure if it was an appetizer or dessert or something in between.







OUr hotel at night time.  We did go back for a break in the afternoon for happy hour and a swim in the pool
