Being Touristy

After our first night at the Hyatt (yes, these posts are getting a bit out of order, sorry!) we woke insanely early and I got in a quick workout at the gym before we all went to breakfast at the club. All of the hotels we stayed at had really great gyms, and normally I would not work out on a vacation this much, but 1. when you wake up at 2am there is not much else to do and 2. I wanted to stay in shape in case I got offered a class to teach at the Y when we returned home.

After breakfast the girls took a FOUR HOUR nap,  eating up some of the morning, but that's the way it goes when travelling with babies. When everyone was up and ready to go we took a cab to the Marina area and did a Duck Tour and took a ride on the Singapore Flyer - the world's tallest Ferris Wheel. We realized that these were very touristy activities, but when you have a 1 and 2 year old in tow it's hard to do a lot of "off the beaten path" sight seeing. We also thought that both activities would give us a better idea of the layout of Singapore and were hopeful that the girls would enjoy them as well.

Lizzy was a borderline terror on the Duck Tour but we made it without her going overboard, and luckily they both seemed to enjoy the ride on the Flyer.

After we finished our activities we were walking around the shopping area surrounding the Flyer and a group of Indian tourists converged on the girls snapping photographs of them and taking turns posing with them. We came to see that this would be a very common occurrence for the rest of the trip.

We took a cab back to the hotel and had some dinner and did a little swimming before it was time to call it a night.
