Visit from Stockholm!

Between Christmas and New Years, one of my best friends, Anna, from good old Stockholm landed in Singapore with her man Jimmy. We had a fantastic few days before they were jetting off to KL!


First things first: replacing the fridge!
 

Anna and I started off with one man in a conference call with the States and another jet lagged out of his witts = we headed for Brewerkz Microbrewery by Riverside Point
 

Then we ended up in Clarke Quay and that’s all I have to say about that
 

After a walk in our hood, with lunch at our local hawker, stroll back trough Braddell Heights, some time by the pool and everyone changing into dress coded alternatives for the evening, it was time for the Marina and then dinner at Lau Pa Sat. Unfortunately 1 Altitude was closed, but Ku De Ta at Marina Bay Sands Skypark was a good substitute
 
 
The next day, a quick pit stop at Orchard Road was also required and photos were taken and filed
 

After doing a short and late lunch at Chijmes, we headed for Raffles Hotel
 

Then it was of course Long Bar on the schedule and Singapore Slings; they look slightly slimy, but are actually really good. And you get to throw peanuts on the floor; I mean, what can go wrong?
 

After that it was foot reflexology and chili crab at Jumbo Seafood; commotion broke out though, as a river boat caught fire and a full load of people had to jump ship just below our table


On the way back we passed by the big clock counting down to New Years 

 Welcome back our dear friends and we miss you already!
