Monday and we are now heading towards the end of our trip. Both us realise this and and both us refuse to discuss it openly as we are both sad about it. We had decided to visit the gardens by the bay again to see the dahlia exhibition. Our trip there was uneventful we are now totally at home on the MRT system and know what we are doing.
The dahlia exhibition was good but not quite as good as the chrysanthemum display we had seen earlier in the trip. However, we were able to spend about two and half hours ther and felt we had got value for money.
Back into the heat of the day we headed to Marina Bay Sands for lunch which we enjoyed in the food court, having fresh pasta and dumplings.
We then headed back to David's flat so that the tour director could go for a swim and both us relaxed. In the evening we went to a Japanese restaurant for a Shabu Shabu meal. This is basically a soup fondue, a bowl of boiling stock is placed on a burner on the table and you are provided with very thin slices of pork and beef to boil in it. In addition you are also provided with thinly sliced vegetables to add to the stock which not only improves the flavour but also gives you a vegetable course later in the meal.
All in all a quiet day but one that we really enjoyed.
