The Big Adventure Part Five

We had arrived back into Singapore quite late so we went up to the room, ant had a couple of half bottles of wine so we had a drink and chatted about our experiences and how we felt everything had gone, we were both really happy about the trip and though mum and aunty m were really lovely people. We went to sleep and woke quite late the next day. Unfortunately we really wanted to be back in France sorting things out in the house so we did not feel to inclined to do much, but we decided we would take a walk over to Clarke Quay and have a wander around there, which we did. It was a nice walk, very hot and sunny, so we popped into a couple of airconned malls to cool down a little. We passed by the Durian and the Merlion, then stopped for a beer at Clarke Quay. I had read that Royal Selangor, an artisanal metal work company, had a little museum there so we went to have a look at that, the museum was not up to much but there was a work space where you could learn how to beat out a pewter bowl, after a little procrastination we decided to give it a go. We enjoyed it immensely, ant did a bowl for me with d a and r all over it, our combined initials, and i did one with david loves anthony in the middle all surrounded by a heart made of x's, which he liked too, so it was a great little souvenir of Singapore. After this we wandered back to the hotel and had a little down time, whilst ant had a nap and i watched a little T.V.
In the evening we had decided to go to Bugis Street market, not that we needed anything but it would be good for a little entertainment. We decided, after much procrastination, to eat in the Japanesse food court in the mall, it was great, they gave us a card when we went in and you went to each of the food stands and they made the stuff in front of you. I had mussels wrapped in bacon on a spit griddled, and quail eggs in bacon on a spit to start, ant had some griddled dumplings, then i had a BBQ chicken leg with almond rice and salad for a main, ant had a potatoe rosti with Japanesse curry, not very typical but very nice. We had a good wander round the market and bought nothing, then we walked back to the hotel, passing a street full of food places, the smell was wonderful. Off to bed again.
