    We were picked up in the morning from the taxi the hotel had arranged. We'd actually tried to cancel this as it was 3 times the price of grab but hey ho. It was our first experience with scoot airlines and once again, everything ran smoothly to arrive in Singapore.

    We were impressed with Singapore instantly driving through the city. It strikes you instantly how clean, green and well groomed the country is. We arrived at M social which was definitely 'cosy' but we were thankful for the change from the hostel to this for our final night. Once rested and showered, we headed to the gardens by the bay, which felt very beautiful to walk around but the humidity hit us like crazy this night! The worst from anywhere we've been the whole trip. Sadly, the cloud forest was closed and we decided to go up to the bridge rather than go in the flower dome as it was expensive. From here we could see the marvellous view of Marina Bay Sands, the iconic hotel we dreamt of staying in! As the sun set, and the night drew in, we watched as the lights lit up the gardens.

    We then walked to the hawkers markets where we got dumplings and some Bao buns for dessert. We'd attempted to go into level 33 bar en route, however I was banished due to my sandals, which the man needed to take a step to the side to see for some reason.

    We ended the night in the hotel bar where we thoroughly enjoyed a couple glasses of red for 12 dollars each.
