Singapore - Getting my bearings

12/09/2011

Today was all about taking it easy.

And then getting lost.

And then taking it easy again.

The aim for today was to meander around the Indian quarter of Singapore, taking in the temples and sampling the Indian cuisine. That seemed logical as that was the closest to where I was staying.

After a leisurely breakfast (included at the hostel).  I examined the map and tried to ascertain where I would be going.
Less easy.  Apparently my sense of direction is appalling.

I did discover a beautiful temple along the street that I would never have otherwise found, and some lovely shops.

I also stumbled across a wonderful Indian restaurant, so getting lost is possibly not the worst thing in the world.

When it rains in Singapore it chucks it down.  I should know from the Grand Prix, and at that point I decided it would be useful to run for shelter like everyone else had done.

I found my way back to the hostel and re-planned my temple route which had been pretty unsuccessful so far, and figured out where I'd been going wrong.

The afternoon was a lot more productive and now that I'd got my bearings.
