Around Singapore: seeing the sights

Crazypeopleonbikes, 3 days of tourism in Singapore, adding back all those lost calories with three (overly) square meals per day, plus snacks.

My friends are here for 3 days until they fly to Hong Kong. The luxury of staying in a nice hotel, eating nice meals, talking with people I've known for a long time. We have dinner one evening with Andy and Wai Yeng of crazyguyonabike.com fame. I saw them from a distance while I was descending a hill in Patagonia back in 2012 but this is the first time we've actually met. A lot of cycling talk (hopefully we don't bore Victor to tears), laughter about the travails of riding through the Andes, and good Chinese food.
