From Singapore to Santiago: Farewell Singapore!

We can honestly say that Singapore exceeded all our expectations. Anyone who talks about the city raves about the food and the shopping - and admittedly they are amazing, but there seemed to be so much more! We experienced a great combination of exploring, relaxing, big city life and being one with nature.

For us it was really the people who made Singapore great, and we had an amazing host in our friend Dave. One of the photos below is from the 33rd storey of his parents apartment - the view was simply incredible! We also had such a great time catching up with our bud Elliot as he did his best to try and double our body weight with all the Singaporean culinary delights. And praise Jesus this didn't include durian! It's crazy that you can buy dinner for $3 or $4 whilst a bag of carrots is $9; the culture is just asking you to dine out! Desserts were a highlight, ranging from the very authentic (see photo - an amazing combination of ice, coconut, beans and corn) to the not-so-authentic but equally awesome iced milos.

We also had an amazing trip into a place called MacRitchie Reservoir Park... a park complete with monkeys, lizards and a snake so fast only Jess could see!

The only negative about Singapore was trying to run! A one hour training run was an absolute struggle - it was like running in a sauna with a thick sheet over your head. Bring on 6 degree France!
