Woke up around 8am local time and both of us felt that we weren't going to get any more sleep, despite the long day and interrupted night.
So, we started getting our bearings - found the local markets and shopping centre, had some breakfast, checked out the train station. We also spent some time getting SIM cards for our phones - even though it's only three days it's still good to be able to access the internet when you're out and about.
In the afternoon we bought a three day tourist pass for travel on the MRT and started off by using it to get to Pasir Ris MRT station for the start of a tour we had booked.
The tour was about Changi and World War 2. It became quite clear that in the rush for development a lot of historical sites in Singapore have been demolished, but just the same it was quite interesting and I'm glad we went along.
Had dinner at a street market nearby and went home to crash after a very long day.
