Easter Saturday

Woke up this morning for Coffee and Hot Cross Buns.

After breakfast a short run to the athletic track adjacent the the Singapore Botanical Gardens.  I am still feeling the effects of my recent cold and the Aviva Half Iron Man Triathlon.  Funnily enough, I felt pretty ordinary for the first 7.8 km but the last 200 m felt really good.

Lunchtime I headed down to Harbourfront with Claire and Sophie.  Harbourfront is the home of Vivo City Shopping Centre.  Sophie did some posing as a "Cover Girl' in the Mall. 

We stopped for lunch on the Harbour Front at a German Restaurant called Brotzeit.  This was a great place with a cool breeze off of the water between Singapore and Santosa Island and a good range of German beers including Weissbier, Dunkelbier and Pils.  The Menu consisted of a great range of German favourites, including Wurst, Schnitzel but also some very non traditional German dishes like Crispy Chicken Salad and Pizza.

Claire selected a delicious mozzarella salad with sun-dried tomato, pesto, rocket and  croutons of schwarzbrot.  Sophie ordered a spinach Pizza and I decided on a veal goulash.  This was nice and spicy with lots of paprika, a touch of pepper and served with potato gnocchi.

After a great lunch, we headed home.  In the afternoon, I picked up the last of our Easter Sunday chocolate supplies from Great World Shopping Centre and settled in for a quiet evening at home.
