Singapore!?!

There’s a station on our cabin television that gives us the exact location of the ship, our speed, and our route.  When I turned it on after we left Saigon, it read “Saigon to Singapore.”  What?  We’re going to Singapore was my immediate reaction.  I had heard that sometimes SAS makes surprise stops along the way.  Rumors immediately began floating around the ship.  Some said we were losing one port and gaining Singapore and some were crazier than that. 

The real reason we were docking in Singapore was so the ship could refuel.   We docked on Friday morning at around 7 AM and we could get a pretty good view of the city, but not a good enough view to take any decent pictures ☹ We spend the entire day anchored there as the ship refueled.  It was neat to be in the area and seeing all the different types of ships go in and out.  Singapore is one of the busiest ports in the world and you can definitely tell. 

So now were heading through the Strait of Malacca and on our way to India.  We should get a pretty nice view of the Indonesian and Malaysian coastlines, as part of the strait is only 1.7 miles wide!  All we have to watch out for is pirates...
