Singapore me a drink!

Day 3! 

One word. Stressful! This morning we woke up and went downstairs to the lounge to chill and have tea. Somehow 8:30am quickly rolled around and we realized that we better get going. So the plan this morning was to have breaky then head to the airport again because I forgot the iPad mini on our flight into Sing.

They were holding it in there office for us thankfully, but they were only open from 8:30-10:30am. We hopped on the subway and figured we would maybe take 30-45 minutes to get there so we had lots of time right? Uhmmmm NO! 

At one point we were running from one train to the other, we almost got hit by the closing doors more times than anyone should ever! For what felt like 40 stops later we finally got to the airport where we had 6 minutes to get to the office. Of course we were at the wrong terminal why wouldn't we be right? 

Once again running like headless chickens through the airport we take the sky train to terminal 1 and take the elevator to floor 4. The door of the elevator opens and there's about 10 different hallways and 100 doors. 

Solution! RUN! We start sprinting in the office hallways passing everyone and anyone then... Finally Veronica finds the damn door, lucky us it was fucking door number 61. Out of breath and sweating like real champs we get through the door, it's 10:37 but... They're still there! Woot woot!  We retrieve the object and mission accomplished! Fuck yeah!

Ok enough 007 for today HA! We leave the airport and head to the Botanic Gardens. This garden is first of all free and second huge. We walked around for hours and visited all kinds of awesome stuff. Best part though was that we saw some kind of mini Komodo dragon looking thing! I luckily got close enough to take a video and some pictures. 

Following the Gardens we went back to little India to grab some food and find some sweet nose rings for Mar and some toe rings for Vee. At this point we've been walking/running all day and it's 5pm so we decide it's time to go back to the hostel to chill and shower. 

Once we've rested our feet a little bit and feel up for going out again we take the subway to Clarkes Quay. This place is wicked! Everything in Singapore is so big and architecturally sound, it's crazy. Clarkes Quay is filled with all different kinds of cuisines (and the best one of them all... Hooters...good one Sing!) 

There's a big river running through it and this place is clearly where the white people migrate to, they're everywhere !

After grabbing some dinner we snap a few pics and planned on getting some drinks until we saw that the cheapest drink there is 9 dollars. No drinks for us we are way too cheap, especially when we know that 9$ will get us 9 meals in Thailand haha. 

When we get home after Clarkes Quay we book our hostel for Kuala Lumpur, since that's our next stop. We leave Singapore tomorrow night at 11:30pm to catch the overnight train to KL.

Last day in Sing coming up! Let's make it a good one ladies.

A bientot,
