A refreshing dip?

The last time I was in transit through Singapore I was feeling like death warmed up - too much champagne/wine/food/everything on my first class flight from London en route to Tokyo.

This time I didnt have a hangover, but I was flagging a bit from lack of sleep.

The swim was hard work. Also I had to concentrate on what was in front of me as it was a bit of a free for all - I couldn't just get in to a steady rhytmn.

The pool was busier than I expected for 9.30am on a Sunday. I guess it was people getting a swim in while the weather was good and before the sun had a chance to warm the water up too much.

I did feel better after I'd finished and I particularly enjoyed the cool shower I had before I got changed. I took my time in the shower and didn't rush getting dressed so that I had a chance to cool down properly. To be honest it didn't make much difference as the weather was really hot and sunny and even walking at a snails pace would've made you hot and sweaty.

After my swim it was back to the airport to dump my bags and then time to head in to the city.
