Sentosa Rocks

Saturday. Halfway through my trip here, and still so much of Singapore I have not seen. To pick how I want to spend my day today was a challenge, but Garrick and Chad were heading over to Sentosa, and my friend Victoria had mentioned that I should see it, so I decided to tag along with the boys. During the week I had been teasing Chad about making sure he ordered good weather, and he came through for us perefectly. Today the sky was clear and blue, not a cloud to be seen in any direction. He picked us up at the hotel at 11 and indulged my desire to take the cable car over to Senotsa. He dropped us off and told us to text him once we were on the cable car. The views were spectacular, the water a lovely color and the cable car was a small enclosed bubble of glass as hot as a sauna!

Once off on the other end, a wrong turn took us through the cable car museum, the highlight of which was a "VIP" cable car that had plush red leather seats and a radio, followed in coolness factor by the cable car keychains.
We met up with Chad, who drove over, and pausing at to speak to the snake charmer who places a huge snake on people for photo ops for $5, we head over to the beach. I finally see one of Singapore's famous massive Merlions - at last!
We walk along the beach and stop for lunch on a nice patio. The food, as always, is lovely and Garrick's salad is just beautiful. Chad and I had a thin crust Hawaian pizza which was better than any I have had at home. After lunch we complete the beach walk and then drive to the other side of the island.

And here is Paradise:

Tanjong Beach Club

Volleyball courts, a DJ, great drinks, beautiful people, a pool, sand and the sea. What could possibly be better? I think of my friend Len and take their business card so when I come back, I can make reservations for a lounge area for us all. I can just imagine us wasting an entire afternoon and evening chilling by the pool, drinking delish Margaritas and soaking up the "culture".
Tonight I head out to Raffles Hotel for a cocktail (I suppose I should have a Singapore Sling) and then dinner. Cheers!
