Late start this morning. Karla picked us up around 10.30 and took us by bus to Burgis Shopping complex, apparently there was a sale on, especially women's shoes. Stopped of for a coffee and donut, then hit the shopping. After much too'ing and fro'ing only one pair of shoes was purchased, during which I watched a tropical rain storm through the shop windows. Then it was MRT up to Orchard Road, checked out the Apple place no 4s or iPhone 5's in stock, slack. Karla is getting one on a local plan (it will cost her around $400, plus a 24 month plan).
Sunday is family day in Singapore. For family time they shop, and shop, and shop then shop some more. They also eat a great deal. So, all the places in the mall on Orchard we were in (I mean food courts, not posh eating establishments) were also very full, no over flowing. I love the way they save a table by placing a packet of tissues on the table. Was very tempted.
Left Orchard Road and began to walk back to Clarke Quay (where we are staying). Got a very good BLT from a little restaurant on the way home.
Spent a few hours in and around the pool. A little bit Off putting when you are swimming 4 levels up with clear glass sides- you get to see the traffic as you swim.
In the evening we ate local with Jono and Karla. After they left we walked along Clarke quay, wall to wall restaurants. Must have walked for a good 60 minutes. It was very nice, warm and enjoyable.
Tomorrow we are off the Old Ford Factory to look at the time Singapore was under Japanese control in WW2 (1942 to 1944). Should be fun.

1 day at the shops + 2 women = 1 pair of shoes. I think they'd better go back to Girl School, or hand their girl cards back in. That is definitely a sub-par performance.
The walk along Clyde Quay with all the restaurants sounds great.
Take care.
Cheers,
David.
