Swim

Hey,

Well I slept ok since it was my first night after a 13 hour flight so I was a bit jet lagged. I woke up a 3 and couldn't go back to sleep but Sue was also awake and she had already been there for 2 nights and had less flight time. She went back to sleep. After we had breakfast together she went to work and I managed to go back to sleep until 10am.

When I woke up my phone wasn't working so that was fun, gave it a rest and spent the whole day without it but that meant if Sue messaged me I wouldn't get it.

My day was basically unpacking, swimming, laying by the pool and repeat. It was very relaxing and so far I think I have been swimming everyday but one.


Now for the evening, we (me and my aunt) went out to Bistro Bar which had a wonderful atmosphere. (Read more about it on my food page). On the way we walked through a shopping centre where there was a yoga lesson going on that you can join, we didn't has had not mat and didn't really want to, I was hungry.

Oysters

Hey,

So if you haven't read by travel page I should tell you that I am currently in Singapore and on my first evening here I tried something new. This may be a shock but I had never had oysters before so that's what I had.


Me and my aunt went to a restaurant in Chimes, but I'm afraid I can't remember what it was called. We ordered half a dozen oysters, 3 each. When we got them there were 2 from different countries which were Australian, French and Pacific.


We had them with different flavours;

Pacific with lemon that was nice, Australian with vinegar which was the largest plus too much vinegar, and finally was the French that was the best and I had it with whisky but you couldn't taste that.


If I were to have it again I would have lemon with the French oysters and that would be perfect.


That's it for now, comment below and share your experiences with oysters.

Arrival

Hey,



So let's talk about my arrival into Singapore, since I arrived at 6pm, you may think that there isn't much to talk about and that's where you are wrong as Singapore seems to come alive in the evenings.





First, the actual arrival, now when travelling in new places there are a lot of queues, well 1 or 2 but very long, here that isn't the case I literally got off the plane walked through immigration, collected my bag and met Sue (my Aunt), then we got the taxi to the hotel. The only queue I had was waiting for the taxi but that was like 10 minutes. This airport is different to other airports I have been to not only because it's quick but also because it has a slide between floors (to get down to the floor below).




Once arrived at the hotel, on the 56th floor, I saw the view and really there is only one way to describe it and that is WOW. We later went out to Chimes to find something to eat and for the first time I had oysters (read more about on my food page).



After dinner we decided to explore the hotel a bit more as Sue had only been there for about 2 days before I arrived. We went to the 71st floor to a night club, I mean are they serious there is a night club on the top of our hotel. I had a vodka and coke, more alcohol? I had already had about 3 glasses of rose with dinner.



So that's my first day in Singapore, thanks for reading
