Thursday. Thor Day. Day 4 of my staycation at Capella.
The skies were overcast though my mood was bright. The girls and I headed to the beach again. Empty again. And again, it felt so freeing to be on the expanse of sand with the girls running and exploring. It was so quiet. Everything on my mind just floated away. It was only me, the girls, the water, the sand, and the fresh air. The beach had beautiful patterns, little rivets made by the water moving in and out again. Just one day later, the beach was a different place.
I think the construction noise from the apartment building next door at home really is getting to me. Being Canadian, I’m just not used to the constancy of noise that exists here in Singapore, today’s Singapore anyway. Because of the construction, the noise level is worse – drilling before 8am, the annoying beep beep of trucks backing up as late as 10pm. It’s a long day. It’s a long day of work for the workers.
This staycation at Capella on Sentosa was exactly what I needed. A break from hammering sounds. A break from everyday routine.
Walking the girls is also easy and less stressful here. It’s a beautifully landscaped property. Unlike the grass around my apartment, the paths here are not littered with poop and garbage. Singapore is NOT as clean as people think. It used to be.
The grey skies opened up after breakfast and the winds picked up. I love rainy days. They are lazy days. Movie days. Reading days. The girls slept soundly as I read and watched TV and had room service. More churros.
With a 6 PM checkout, I had more time to relax in the beautiful villa. Then last minute, plans changed and I was staying one more night!
