Hi
our blog has been quiet for a while, mostly because so has life here...
But a week and a half ago, Jane's sisted came to visit for 6 days. That is not a long time, so we had a challenge. We wanted to show her Singapore, while at the same time leave space for relaxation - it was after all a holiday.
The main items on the programme ended like:

But a week and a half ago, Jane's sisted came to visit for 6 days. That is not a long time, so we had a challenge. We wanted to show her Singapore, while at the same time leave space for relaxation - it was after all a holiday.
The main items on the programme ended like:
Day 1, Wednesday - Kate and Jane did the Hop-on-hop-off bus tour, after which all we met up for a S'Pore Sling at Raffles Long Bar.
Day 2, Thursdag - First we all met up fur lunch in the Suntec food court, so that she could try that kind of eating out. Kate and Jane then wisited the Botannic Garden.
Day 3, Friday - We all went to Batam, Indonesia. We expected to arrive at some sort of city, it was after all called Batam Center, but it turned out to be a set of shopping centers in the middle of nowehere. We hired a taxi for 3 hours,and went to another mega mall, after which we visited a spa and got a good massage. In the evening we went to The Clinic on Clark Quay, to see a bar where the chairs are wheelchairs and the lamps are the ones used in operating theatres. Kate is a nurse, so we thought that it would be fun, and it was. She got a new idea for her 50th birthday party.
Day 4, Saturday - We did Chinatown during the day. Kate and Willy tried frozen durian in a pancake, urgh, not a good idea. Kate and Jane did the S'Pore Flyer (the biggest ferris wheel in the world, bigger than The Eye in London) by sundown which was a great experiance. In the evening we had dinner at the Equinoxe Restaurant at Swissotel's 70th floor. Great view (lightning in the distance), good service and very good although a bit scarce food. But somewhat expensive.
Day 5, Sunday - Kate and Jane spent some time at the pool, while Willy was working. We had high tea at Raffles in the afternoon, after which Kate and Willy went for a walk round the river.
Day 6 - Monday, Kate and Jane went for an hour swim and then they went shopping. In the afternon we all tried Dr Fish, where you sit with you feet in water with a lot of small fish, that eats the dry skin of you feet. It tickles, but makes your feet very soft. We had dinner at a restaurant in Boat Quay. Then it was time to drive Kate to the airport and say goodbye. We all felt that it had been a good vacation, where Jane and Willy also saw something new.
