New Years 2017 – Day 23


After a very late night last night we slept in until 9:00am and then we both ate breakfast in the lounge.

Then we went on the subway to an area called Little India and it was a very interesting area.  This is a national holiday in India celebrating the harvest so it is also celebrated in Singapore in this area also.  Not only were they lots of local shops open but there were a lot of street stalls set up in the middle of the street.
We ate lunch at a local shop and were served a mutton dish with local bread and it was very good.
Next we took the subway to the Turkish/Muslim community.  Again, the area was extremely busy area because it was Saturday.  We walked and walked and did some shopping until it looked like it was going to rain so we took a quick cab back to the hotel.
At 5:30pm we went to the Executive Lounge and had their food for dinner.  Not a local restaurant, but the food was good with a local flavor – and it was free.

Then we took the subway to the Sands Hotel and the observation lounge on the 56 floor to see the city at dusk and it was a beautiful view.
After that we took the subway back to the hotel and packed.
WOW – what a trip – thanks for following along with us.  Also, a big thanks to Jason, Sharon, Cooper, Alex, Wrigs and Captain for keeping Pippen.
It has been a great trip but we can’t wait to get home.

Getting a sweet - it's the yellow ones on the right - really good
