Day 7

By -
Today was our free day. 

I started the day with an epic hangover after my drinks were spiked in town. I recall making my own way home, falling in a driveway then waking up in my bed with the lights on and window open for all to see!! Will be more carefull to only drink bottled drinks when out. 

Anyway. Went to the local discount centre today. We travelled on the local public bus system. Very efficient and only $2 for a day pass. The buses are free if you have a bike (to encourage exercise I suspect). Amazing place where they have brand name goods at very good pricing. Got Mel some nice ASIC runners, myself a Ralf Lauren shirt and Tommy Hilfiger jacket. 

We returned to town and headed to a nice pizza bar that over looks the town square/plaza. The pizza was great and the beer settled my hangover. 

The afternoon and evening were spent preparing our reflection for the morning.  We experienced a few IT issues (we said so many times "wish Mel was here to help!" ). I will have to get a copy of the reflection out to everyone as it turned out very good in the end.

Erawan Museum

What an amazing day! After a magnificent breakfast at our hotel it was time to check out! At 10am, Geoff, Chalor, Poi and Arnut picked us up from our hotel. We travelled down Sukhumvit Rd with no idea where we were going! Geoff didn't want us to know...it was a surprise!! Well, as we turned the corner our breath was taken away by the most amazing three headed elephant.  We were heading to the Erawan Museum. The Erawan Museum, according to the founder Lek Viriyaphant's ideal wish, was aimed to serve as a showcase of the spirit of Asia where the essence of Arts and 4 major religions have been preserved in order to make known to Asian people and the world the foundation of the eastern civilisation cultivated and transmitted through the philosophical inspiration. An absolutely amazing place.... We headed to Mega Bang Na for lunch and treated the youngsters to the last western meal for 8 days ( McDonalds - Arnut was in his element!) We then travelled nearly 2 hours to get to Pak Hai

A rainy day in Singapore

We woke to this this morning... Rain and a storm.  Our plans changed a little as we didn’t feel Gardens By the Bay would be worth it in the rain.  Jason started the day with a traditional Asian style breakfast... We then headed off to see the ‘Merlion’ The Merlion is a form of welcome to the visitors to Singapore. A real tourist thing to do is pose with the Merlion with the water entering your mouth...we gave it a shot!! We decided to head to Orchard Road for some window shopping. How many Louis Vuitton or Victoria’s Secret shops can you have in one stretch??? The hands down winner though was the Magnum store...where you could create your own Magnum!!! We didn’t but watched a couple of other aussies create theirs! I found another scrapbooking store. Absolutely gorgeous. The walls and store were lined with gorgeous projects. Lots of great things to buy but I actually walked out with nothing 🤪 So unlike me!!! I also went to the store under our hotel...with nothing purchased there either
