Pool day? not so fast!

Today didn't start out the way we planned. I had been fighting a cold for the last couple of days but today,
there was no doubt it was more than a cold, ugh.  Andrew set up a doctor appointment for me, an hour later I have strep and 101 degree fever.
Back to bed? no way, off to the pool! no sun, but R & R by the pool was perfect! We had big plans tonight at the zoo for the night safari!

What to do on a rainy day in Singapore



After 3 blocks of walking in the rain, looking for a place to have breakfast, keep in mind we were
planning on spending a nice quiet day by the pool so we were dressed
for the pool!  We were starving and needing coffee!  We stumbled upon
a quaint little cafe minutes from our hotel!
