Linking the Shopping and Marina Bay jogging routes

..by avoiding stopping for shops. It's impossible! One can't cross Paterson road on orchard without going thru the underpass that takes you via the shops.



As a result my GPS on Runkeeper got distorted. It didn't feel like 5.56 miles at all although the heat and humidity didn't help.

It was refreshing jogging along a less crowded orchard road but I had to avoid hitting pedestrians with eyes fixated on the smartphones.

Potential breakfast foodstalls on killiney road weren't open, so after a small hill, I got to Singapore River.

Clarke and boat quays came and went. Crossed the bridge at Fullerton Hotel (not stopping for a Singapore Sling!) and squeezed through the early tourists to say hello to the Merlion




The final lap was across Marina Bay to call it quits at the entrance of the casino shoppes (no credit card, no passport - intentional!!)

Headed back to orchard via the MRT against long-sleeved , woollen vest-wearing office workers(!) just in time for the last few minutes of the hotel's executive lounge 'continental breakfast' - with an oriental twist for the one who would've otherwise wanted a kaya toast and kopi c at a hawker centre ;)





More eating and shopping before heading South.
