A girls day out.















With Craig's 'go-live' date being the 1st Feb, he wasn't home much mid january to mid february, including a couple of weekends. So, instead of just hanging around the house, Zoe and I set off to explore more of Singapore.
One saturday, we took a 3 hour harbour cruise on the Imperial Cheng Ho (a replica chinese junk). It was a great way to see Sentosa Island, Singapore port and some of the small islands off the mainland. We stopped at one island called Kusu where we could walk around it, and visit a temple. It was just gorgeous, with not a sole to be seen. Kusu island is also called Turtle island, where during the 9th lunar month (November this year), the Temple attracts thousands of pilgrims who pray for health, babies and a peaceful life.

We hope to visit it again, bringing Craig and a picnic lunch!

It was a fun day. The junk was pretty amazing, and within minutes, Zoe had the boat checked out. She had fun exploring the many rooms on it. She bonded with the staff and in no time had them supplying her with packets (and packets!) of biscuits to munch on.

It was a cool way to spend a morning and discover a bit more of Singapore into the bargain.
