Day 2 - get up early and let's go

To bed early - and out early. Our tactic is to avoid the rather inhospitable climatic conditions and make more use of the morning. I have no idea when we last got up at 7 a.m. on vacation.

I briefly checked my smartphone and received a really great message from Max:

Germany is basketball world champion (men) - somehow surreal, but simply AWESOME!!!

When leaving the hotel, Volker's glasses fog up straight away - from the fridge straight into the steam room.

Southern Ridges - Henderson Wave - Mount Faber, with the cable car to the pleasure island of Sentosa and back again. A trip of about 5 hours that took us through a kind of tree path, where we were constantly accompanied by the sounds of cicadas. A sound reminiscent of tinnitus, but which you get used to over time and when it stops -aaahhhhhh - you don't miss it at all (not comparable to our lovely crickets/chirps).

Since it's Monday today, there aren't many people on the tree path or on Sentosa, so we can admire everything in peace and don't have to wait long during our coffee breaks, even find seats and so we just enjoy the time relaxed.

On the way home we make a short detour to Vivo-City, a very modern and pleasant mall.

Back at the hotel we relax a bit before heading to Chinatown for dinner.

We eat at a hawker, of which there are many in the city.

The hawkers are a collection of small stalls that offer food and drink at reasonable prices as well as seating. They are very popular with people who don't want to pay high prices - and they taste good too.
