William has a rough night and even walking to the dining room of the hotel for breakfast is a major event. Oy! - of course we have a room that is the furthest distance from the elevators. He decides to hang around the hotel room for the day and rest the foot.
In the late morning I grab my hat and the Sony camera and head to the River Walk. Singapore is extremely safe and clean - the perfect city if you must explore on your own. I cross the Read Street pedestrian bridge that we watch from our balcony and take a right to walk through the restaurants of Clarke Quay toward the downtown core and Marina Bay beyond. It’s a warm day with the sun shining, but much of the walkway is shaded by trees. I relish the views of historical buildings, modern skyscrapers, public sculptures and people enjoying the parkway along the Singapore River.

Along the way the Marina Bay Sands (the three tower structure connected by terraces on the top) periodically peeks out. When I arrive at the Esplanade I have a clear view of the structure across the water. The flower-shaped ArtScience Museum is to the left of Marina Bay Sands and the Convention Center is in front. Wow!
By early evening William is a little stir-crazy and we both are getting hungry so we slowly walk across the bridge to Octapas, a Spanish restaurant. We enjoy some beverages, tapas and a paella.
