After little India, we went to Orchard street, which is a mall that is known for the shopping. All of the malls there are very nice. I walked in wearing a tshirt and leggings, and I felt so out of place! Everyone was dressed in fancy clothes, and the bathrooms were some of the nicest I had ever seen. We went into the basement where the food court was and stopped at a Gelato place. I got a giant cone with a scoop of vanilla gelato and a scoop called Dark Rocher. It was dark chocolate gelato with pieces of Fererro Rocher candies in it! It was so delicious.
At this point, we realized we were late for our meeting with Jessica. We had plans to meet her at the Singapore Flyer when she was finished with her field lab. We arrived about half an hour late, but she was nowhere to be found. It looked like it was going to rain, so we got a seat under a veranda near one of the ticket booths. It costs 33 dollars to ride the Ferris Wheel, and it is a half hour long ride. Heather and I decided not to ride it, because we didn’t want to miss Jessica. Once an hour had passed, we gave up hope of finding her.
We decided to eat at a sports bar in the bottom of the ferris wheel. It was called O’Leary’s, and they were obsessed with the Boston Celtics. Their walls were completely covered with things from the Celtics, along with the occasional New England Patriots banner. I ordered a vegetarian Panini; it had different grilled vegetables on it with melted cheese! It was a much better choice than a burger. That’s saying something coming from me.
After that Heather and I headed back to the Orchard mall to really shop. It was pretty late so we did not expect anything to be open. We stayed there for about an hour, and then headed back to the ship terminal to take advantage of the free wifi.
