To Singapore

Next morning we were up at 5 and off to the airport parking to leave the car for Em a couple of days later. We were travelling with handbag, backpack and trolley case.
A hard boiled egg at the airport and smooth departure. We were in a centre row of 3 seats near the back.
I watched a movie The Man who knew Infinity, which I enjoyed. [In 1913, Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel), a self-taught Indian mathematics genius, traveled to Trinity College, Cambridge, where over the course of five years, forged a bond with his mentor, the brilliant and eccentric professor, G.H. (Jeremy Irons)]
We found the Stopover counter, got some S$50 and took the stopover bus in to our hotel at Peninsula Excelsior.
Once settled in, we headed out for a walk, past the church, Art Gallery and Supreme Court, along the promenade to the river, upstream along the boat quay, over the bridge then down Marina Promenade with restaurants opening. Eventually we found Makansutra, the food market and enjoyed some outdoor food. On the way back to the hotel we took a couple of underground routes, the second one leading to the metro and a maze of shops which took us away from our destination to where we had first gone down.
