Scouting Singapore's Sentosa Island

It's been a while- not easy to pick up again!

Hi from Singapore - finally on holiday from the cold weather..it's Day 2 of our escape into Sentosa Island, south of Singapore in a resort with ocean views away from the city, in an attempt to catch a real chance to rest before moving into town for the rest of our stay in the Lion City.

Wind and rain dashed our early hopes for a pre-gigantic breakfast buffet run, and after lying by the pool and a dip in the pool AND the beach. I had to get going.

So we did the beachfront jogging route along the south of the island and then went across to the north, via some hills.





Wasn't easy at all at 27 degree heat and humidity. Everything was sticking. My left foot/heel pain has been playing up so I can only go at a slow even pace.

Made it to sentosa cove - a new residential development with gigantic homes.

(View from the homes - busy port of Singapore and the city in the distance)



A lovely jogging route around the peninsula, and admiring the amazing architecture of these huge modern homes!


An example of one:




We could run back, having done almost 5 miles, but a supermarket and free bus back to the resort beckons. :)

Getting lazier! Isn't it ok whilst on holiday? I wonder how runners here keep up with training in the heat and humidity...
