The mall attached to the Marina Bay Sands had a river flowing through it with a gondola ride! We then took the metro to Lau Pasat Hawker Centre to have some lunch. The building was a very beautiful iron building, a very British Colonial style.

We chose three types of Dim Sum (spinach, chive and vegetable dumplings) and Jives bought a beer. The Dim Sum was $7.80 and the beer was $25. We also got a $10 set with omelette, a tofu cake and a mixed bowl of rice, peanuts, green beans etc. You dip all of these things in a bowl of rice water with basil broth. Everything was delicious!

We then had a craft IPA on chairs in the sun outside ($5). We then headed back to our hotel to regroup before an afternoon adventure. Upon arriving back at our room however, we realised they were cleaning the room next to ours, and our room was next (3pm). We immediately left in hopes that they would still clean it. We crossed the road from our hotel and ordered a beer at an outdoor seating area with plastic chairs. It was about $9 for a large bottle to share. We had our beer and headed back to our room 45 minutes later. It was clean! 

We headed out later to check out the Muslim Quarter, a small area near Bugis station around Masjid Sultan Mosque. We wandered around the small area for a while and found a neat alleyway full of excellent street art. Mostly the neighbourhood was fancy Turkish looking restaurants, and it seemed very touristy. 

We then walked to Golden Mile Hawker Centre, a hawker centre with three levels and a bit grungy looking. There were a lot of meat stalls and hardly anything we could eat as vegetarians. We finally found a spot and ordered a broccoli dish and an omelette on rice that seemed to have meat in it…. 

We then walked 35 minutes back to our hotel, stopping to sit along the banks of the Kallang River as the sunset.

We woke up at 6am to shower and get down to breakfast for 7am. We wanted to have time to check out the Sembawang Hot Spring Park before checking out at 11am. At breakfast I had an egg with rice and Jives had the savoury french toast. We were at the train station by 8am. The hot springs were quite far away and it took three transfers and about an hour to get to Canberra station. From Canberra station we walked down a lovely pathway in a residential area to get to the hot spring park. The walk took about 25-30 minutes. 

Right at the entrance to the hot spring park there was a military airport. We saw a huge family of monkeys crossing the road and entering the military area. The pathway to the hot spring park was lined with beautiful blooming flowers and butterflies, it was very lovely. 

There was a station to cook eggs in the hot spring water and another station for soaking your feet. There were also cold water taps to wash your feet in before putting them in the foot bath. 

The foot bath itself was very full of people, and all the seats were occupied. We stood to one side and put one foot each in the water, as this was the only space available. We only had a few minutes to soak anyways as we were super short on time. Just as we were heading to leave a space opened up to sit at the hotspring. Always bad timing. It was interesting being in a hot spring when the air temperature was about 31 celsius. 

We walked back to the metro and then took the train back to our hotel. We arrived at our hotel with 15 minutes to spare before checkout.  

We then jumped back on the train and took it to the airport. Sundays seem to be a very busy time for the metro in Singapore, as we were on a lot of busy trains that day!
