B & B's Singapore Sling

Eva and Michelle were here not long ago and thankfully they arrived in better condition than Michelle's bag. This is how it came off the carousel. They assured her that they would take care of it and sure enough they picked it up a few days later and fixed it up like new. Amazing what a little Singaporean know how can do.

On their first day I took them to a Hawker stand, which is customary as far as I am concerned. Eva was a little skeptical but I think she enjoyed it

Michelle on the other hand dug right in. I think she ate this before she got back to the table.

Next we were off to China Town and the girls did what girls do best SHOP

Eva went right for the leopard print. Love ya Eva

There is so much stuff down there we were moving at a snails pace but bargains were to be had and had they were. I don't know what the heck they are buying here

Whatever it was it made Michell happy. That and some Thai food. What more can you ask for

Later that evening we went to Gilmans. I think you might recognize the name, it has been mentioned here numerous times, for good reason. It's a place that all visitors must go to and yes you have to eat some of the food with your hands which I think Eva enjoyed quite a bit. Damn that chili crab is good

And the requisite picture of the carnage at the end of the meal

I think Roman wants some more beer here

I don't know why I post some of these pics, they really don't do anything for my image

For all those who were worried that we have been here for over a year and haven't had the street version of an ice cream sandwich with white bread you can now sleep better at night. A little multi colored bread with some chocolate chip ice cream

and hell yes it was good. You have to be prepared for a sizable brain freeze with this delicacy considering it is around 93degrees, but the pain was worth it

Supermodel material

This is a Mosque

This is Eva about to enter a Mosque for the first time. I don't think she ever thought she would be entering a Mosque. Another first on her trip to the other side of the world

After lunch we went on a boat ride down the Singapore River

3 girls on a boat, sounds like the beginning of a joke

The ride was nice but you've seen all the pictures before from previous post so we will jump to the end where we have drinks. You know the fun part

Eva was pretty pooped the next day so Barbara Michelle and I went down Orchard road and they had their pics taken with the beautiful people

Its barely November and they have Christmas everywhere

Barbara found a friendly face on the street

Michelle and I not so much

But there was Super dog to the rescue, I don't ask questions about these type of things. Poor dog

After a day of rest Eva wanted to go for a walk so we took her on a 8k hike through the Jungle. You know just a little walk.

Half way through, I'm starting to get the look. She's a trooper

A little wild life along the way

Don't want to know what this thing is

This little family followed us for a while. The dad would run up ahead of us sit on the rail and watch us pass. as soon as we passed the mom and baby would catch up to him sit and wait while he ran past us again. Kinda neat if you like monkeys, I don't really like monkeys, so

After the walk what do you do. Have some fried food and a drink of course

It's a good thing she like me

Michelle and I went to Har Par Villa the next day. Its probably the weirdest place I have ever been. I took probably 100 pics there and I will just put on a few. It's a place built by one of the brothers who invented Tiger Balm. He built it in commemoration of his Mother, Father and Brother. However weird, bazaar, whatever you want to call it they rolled in one of the coolest cars ever. I can only imagine it had a horn that roared. That's cool

So I think the pics say it all the place was strange.

That evening we went to the screening of the first 2 episodes of season 3 of Barbaras show, Star Wars: The Cone Wars and the clone troopers from the 501st were out in full force. Pretty cool stuff, Eva got to see what is was that Barbara did and I think she approved.?. At least its not porn

To prove I was there

Even R2 was there. Apparently these guys make all their own uniforms and one guy even built R2D2 from scratch. Hard core fans.

This is the Chinese garden

Pretty nice place

Turtle museum

This dude followed us everywhere we went. It didn't help that I had a cucumber in my hand, get your mind out of the gutter, it was a real cucumber to feed the turtles.

Or tease them with. Some of these things were a little aggressive

Especially this guy. I think he would gladly eat your hand if given the chance

A bird

So along with the turtles they had a Bonsai garden which was the real attraction here. Again I took about 100 pics so here are a few faves. These things blow me away.

This one is 200 years old. Very cool

These ones don't even have pots they are just on a piece of slate

This is just cool

And on this side we have

Eva waiting to go to Bali

Drinks on the plane

Michelle at Uluwatu

Eva at Uluwatu

Rice terraces

Ready to shop on Monkey Forest road in Ubud

Chickens in the street

A meeting of the minds monkey style. Probably going over a plan on how to steal stuff from the humans. Monkeys...

Trouble x 1

Trouble x 2

Need I say more

Beachcomber Eva

This and the following are pictures inside the Buddah Tooth relic museum. I reference this only because these two pics should never have been taken. There are signs everywhere saying no pics in this room. Eva, bless her, walked right in and started taking pics. We nearly got thrown out.
