Out and about in Santa Fe

By -
We have had a great day today...after a slow morning allowing Brayden to recuperate.
He is feeling better today, thank goodness. We are unsure whether it was food poisoning or a touch of altitude sickness...we are approx. 9000ft above sea level!!

Unfortunately technology has let us down today and we can't upload any photos :(

Ja and I started the day with a yummy breakfast at the Sage Bakehouse. It was really yummy but they didn't accept Mickey's Magicband...so hard to get used to.

We then headed for the retail outlets for some retail therapy. We shopped and shopped...got some great bargains too!
We checked out Walmart as well...Braydens request!!!!!
We also checked out Jo-Ann's - a craft store...smaller version of Spotlight.

We then headed downtown to the plaza (the town centre) where this weekend they are holding their Fiesta...a festival they hold annually! There are people everywhere.

We went to see Santuario de Guadalupe....the oldest shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the U.S. Unfortunately it was closed.

We then headed to the Cathedral...Brayden was keen to visit seeing that he was unwell yesterday and missed out. We arrived just in time...mass was starting - so we stayed. What a very special part of our holiday. Mass in Santa Fe at the Cathedral. They had a children's choir....absolutely amazing...some of the kids were so little and those that sang solo parts sang like angels!

After mass we headed to the plaza to find Brayden a "cowboy" hat. He finally found something he liked after dinner.

We had a yummy Mexican dinner at the plaza. You can't go for dinner in New Mexico without a Margherita...so we did! Yum!

We headed back to our hotel and packed all our shopping ready to fly out to LA tomorrow morning.

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
