Sky Dining in Singapore

 

I've made lots of friends on board the Odyssey, one special woman - Lyn H. - and I have agreed to a weekly lunch date. Where I spend a lot of time in my cabin on my computer, Lynn is always out and about having fun with groups of people. She seems to always know about the special things to do in any port. So, when we got together for lunch on Sunday while at port in Singapore she told me about how you could actually have dinner while riding the cable cars. 

Well, alrighty then!

We've been watching the cable cars that go right over our ship from the main part of Singapore to the Sentosa Island and back. We definitely wanted to take a ride and the idea that we could have dinner too sounded great. Did she want to join us? No. She's having a different kind of special dinner at "Dining in the Dark." Where you are served by blind waiters and you eat in total darkness. She says it's supposed to heighten your sense of taste and smell as you eat. OK ... 🤔 

We mentioned the sky dining to our friends Russ and Kelly and they were up for it, so we made reservations for the next night. We had beautiful weather for it - hot, but clear and great views. You start with a cocktail at the open air lounge, then board the cable car which has been all set up with your dinner and wine. It takes one round trip to eat - about a half hour. Then you stay on the cable car for another round trip to enjoy the setting sun. When you get off the cable car you go to the open air restaurant for dessert. What a treat! Delicious food, wonderful company, and beautiful views.
