Walk on the Quays

Jo invited me and Brandon to go for a walk with her and Jessie this morning. Jake stayed home with his dad, and Jessie brought her scooter, so we were able to go for a nice brisk walk. We walked down Leonie Hill and across River Valley Road to the river. I have walked between home and Clarke Quay, but I have always walked on River Valley Road. I didn't know that there is a really nice walking path that runs along the quays (wharfs) on the river.








We had an amazing walk along Robertson Quay and Clarke Quay. We left for the walk just after 8 am, so it wasn't too hot out yet. There was also some shade and a really nice breeze. It was one of the very few times I have been really comfortable outside in the weather here.





I also found some really cute coffee shops and restaurants along the river. I'm looking forward to going back and trying some of these soon. Maybe when we have our company visit in June and July.





This afternoon, Brandon and I walked to Great World City apartments for Sofia's first birthday party. They had a bbq outside next to the pool. The weather was great, and the party was really nice. I would have enjoyed it more though if Steven had been able to be there. Since the party was at the pool, I had to watch and chase Brandon most of our time there. The grill was located near a deep part of the adult pool, and the children's pool was all the way across the pool deck. So, it was hard to do any socializing. :(





When we got home from the party, Steven called from the airport in London. Unfortunately, he called to tell me that he missed his flight back to Singapore. I guess he was working and just got crunched for time. He made it to the gate (I think) 30 minutes before the flight left, but they wouldn't let him on. They said that they do the last boarding 45 minutes before the departure time. Bummer for me, Brandon, and Steven!!!





Steven will have to take the next flight which leaves a few hours later. Looking forward to having him back in Singapore tomorrow!
