Singapore! The Raffles Hotel & Singapore Slings... and shopping! We were on the hunt for a Jim Thompson store on Orchard Road, and George made it his mission to find it! Did a bit of damage there, and found quite a few nice things. There are not a lot of bargains given the sad state of the dollar, but there are stores everywhere! We did enjoy using the mass transit system (MRT, a lot like BART!) -- a very cool (and cheap) way of getting around in the heat and humidity!
Here we are pictured at Raffles Long Bar having Singapore Slings with friends Jim and Carol -- our bridge partners on the ship. We had a number of drinks there while on ship tours, but found out as we lingered and the tour left us on our own to drink that they are one of our more expensive luxuries off the ship ($25 per drink!) We were glad to make it back to our current version of home!
