Part 5 Out and About in Singapore

So you fly half way across the world, from cold wet winter to warm humid climate, whats the first thing you do, run a 10km race of course

I always try to get a run in where ever I go, and I found one while we were in Singapore, a 10km fun run. It was for a Canadian Charity called Terry Fox Foundation which helps people with Cancer, which is also means something to me, working in a large hospital, so I signed us up. It was a 0700 start, in East Coast Park, near the airport, and the place was really busy for a Sunday am, it is a great place though and worth a visit.

A shot at the start, you can imagine by the end I was a lot more sweaty



We did lots of walking, including Little India and Botanics







We also had a great dinner at Joie on Orchard Road, an all vegetarian restaurant, you have 7 course, and it was amazing value

Of course, we headed to the zoo, and it continues to be great, although they have moved the Panda's to a different area and you need to pay for another ticket to see them

Place your bets - Squirrel or Snake?!?
