It's been a busy week and I haven't had a chance to post anything. While Terry was here we spent the last 4 days together touring around. Saturday was a day for wandering around Little India and then lunch at Boat Quay and a tour on an "electric" boat on the Singapore River.
As usual it was a very hot day (must remember to drink water) - I've
become a huge consumer of "wet wipes" - you can buy purse size packages
(4 packages for $1 SD) and I don't go anywhere without them. Always in
need of freshening up and wiping my face :)
Little India
We really just wandered Serangoon Road taking in the sights. Markets everywhere and lots of these garlands for sale. We went into a couple of temples along the way and visited the Mustafa Centre - open 24 hours a day - you can buy anything there.

Boat Quay
We definitely had earned a beer after our tour through Little India. I like the Boat Quay area - it's quite touristy, but there is often a breeze along the Singapore River and they always seem to have happy hour prices. Lunch was really nice with a selection of courses. My favourite was the pineapple rice - as you can see served in a pineapple!
Singapore River Cruise
Final stop for the day was a cruise on the Singapore River. It was nice to see some of the sights from the water - we had seen many from the top deck of a bus tour the week before.
