Back to Singapore

Our trip to Siem Reap was eye-opening in many ways.  Our last full day was spent pampering ourselves at the hotel, which is also a spa.  Sandy and I did a two-hour couples massage, full-body exfoliating, and facial treatment.  As Shania might sing, "Man, I feel like a woman."  Actually, the petite Cambodian woman put a huge hurt on my muscles.  She had hands of steel.

I've read that the Siem Reap airport is the busiest in Cambodia.  Here is a view of the airport as we made our departure.  That is the actual terminal.  All of it.  Through that terminal some 2 million people pass per year!

Our new hotel in Singapore is the Riverview, which is aptly named as you can see from the following photo.  The river is the Singapore River.  That is a river taxi in front of the hotel, and the lines going up from the boat to the right of the photo are the supports for the pedestrian bridge across the river.  Just above the hotel's name is the hotel's fifth-story swimming pool.

This photo is a panoramic view Sandy took from the pool balcony.

 The following photo is of your friendly bloggers taken from just across the river from Clarke's Quay.  For some reason I can't both take a picture and smile at the same time.  I don't know why. 

Clarke's Quay is one of the major gathering points in Singapore, particularly for tourists.  It has restaurants, bars, night clubs, live music venues, and even hotels.  When I was here in 2012 they had live concerts.  The weekend after I left last time, one of the bands I have gotten to know in Montana was playing: Adrian and the Sickness from Austin, Texas.  I even had her t-shirt, which I bought in Montana!
