Laura and I decided to forego the early morning activity our cruise friends had suggested, mainly to sleep more.
After waking up we decided to do a little shopping for ourselves before meeting up with one of Laura’s co-workers for drinks.
Laura’s company has offices all over the world, and infrequently brought them all to Chicago for their big events. As such Laura has made friends with people all over, to include this lady Kelise.
Laura emailed her weeks ago when we first left for our trip, giving her a heads up that we are headed to her part of the world, to good responses, and we would check in later. Then shot a message out before we started the cruise, warning that we would have no internet on the boat, Kalise was still eager to show us around some.
When we got to Singapore laura reached out again, to no response, and checked in frequently, until finally on our last full day, Laura realized she had been emailing the wrong email. So we finally got in touch with her, and she invited us to a happy hour at a hotel downtown.
So after wandering around and shopping some for ourselves, it started raining and we made our way to the hotel. Luckily, much like the rest of the enormous malls over here, we were able to walk quite a while without ever going outside.
We got a little turned around, showed up only 10 minutes late, and sat down to drink and chat with Kalise and her husband. The bar had snacks, to include free steak sandwiches. After a few hours of hanging out.
After the happy hour we went to Little India to take in the sights and get food.
Little India was pretty crazy, i imagine its what India is like. Still really hot, full of people speaking a language we dont understand, seeing script that we cant read and smelling somethings delicious, and others not so much.
We were looking for WiFi, to contact our cruise friends, only finding it in the Mustafa Market (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Centre).
They were already done eating and heading home, so we decided on a restaurant.
We chose an indian restaurant, because it had been mentioned in a blog somewheres, and it did not disappoint. The food was great and the staff was great, we started with some beers, and our waiter suggested we get something (which we didnt hear between the accent and the noise) as it goes good with beer, and it was great, it was basically Indian Nachos. Other than that we got a few dishes that were fantastic, their Gobi Manchurian was excellent, and has cemented Gobi Manchurian as one of my favorite foods, Spinach and Mint Tandoori Chicken, and then finally a yogurt sauce chicken dish.
After stuffing our faces we went home to begin preparing for the move to our resort time.
