Jaded

Arrived in Singapore after the short(ish) flight from Kochi - turbulence and a noisy child ensured that any deep sleep was not going to happen.

Fast taxi into the CBD dropping us at our happy place in Singapore, Carlton Hotel, a hotel we have stayed at, on at best count, 5 of the 7 times we have stayed in Singapore. It is well situated being next to Raffles Hotel and across the road from a metro station.

Once the city started to come to commercial life we left the hotel and walked to one of the many shopping malls here so that Sherry could get her hair trimmed at a stylist she has used previously and then to an optician so that she could have an eye test and new glasses - the new glasses will be ready tomorrow but the lass there is off that day so won’t be picked up until Thursday; even that is a far superior service than we are dealt in NZ.

Seems to me to be a very long way to travel to get a haircut and specs though.

During the day we received the following lovely message from Ashok:

I miss you so much.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Once again my greetings to you and your wife!
Please message me when you reach home.

A late lunch and then a walk to Bugis Junction to poke around there before two quite weary oldies had an earlish dinner before getting our heads on the pillow.
