Day 86: Leaving Singapore

So, I thought today was going to be a casual ship day - we pretty much saw everything we wanted to see in Singapore. However, since the mall was close to the ship and Donna’s Fitbit had died - we decided to take one more hike off the ship.

We got Donna a new Fitbit, a little outfit for our new grandson, and I had one more cup of some of the best coffee I have had - ever. The coffee in Singapore is dark and rich and made with condensed milk. I am a convert.

We got on the ship just in time to say good-bye to Brian & Sue as they head back to Australia. We will miss them, along with others Marshall & Lynn, Johnathan & Lucy, and others.

We had a bit of lunch, a brief nap, Donna did a bit of laundry, I attended a creativity workshop led by Jennifer Eremeeva, we set up our future excursions (this is always a mad rush - and the Viking App had crashed, which didn’t help), then off to a light dinner.

The next four days are going to be crazy we have four ports in Malaysia, four days in a row back-to-back. I wonder if I will ever have time to fill in the blog posts I have missed. I have over 2,000 photos on an SD card in which I haven’t even done pass #1 - My quick deletes pass.

Tonight, we are going to stay in the room, watch a movie - maybe I will get a couple of posts put up.

As we leave Singapore, we very very impressed we the city, the culture, and our brief experiences here. You never have enough time to see it all.

Places which were in movies, on TV, in a book have become a reality to us. The world has become a lot more accessible, smaller, not as scary. I am still very proud to be an American, but have a better understanding of what it means to be a global citizen.Lue lisää
