I nearly forgot today is Marina bay sand

I was full of intentions to go to on the red route of the hop on Hop off bus today and then to sentosa island for the rest of the day ...until an email arrived at breakfast telling me it was time to check out of my hotel...I'd not clicked that today I'd be going to stay at the iconic Marina bay sands hotel...so plans changed and I packed my things having made arrangements to have the room till 1pm. I then caught up with my penguins..
At 2pm.I got a taxi to the Marina bay sands hotel..1st impressions were that it was chaotic 😳..some one appeared to intercept my bags and whisk them.away..I had to queue for pre registration. Registration took ages and I was told to expect a txt saying when my room.was ready.. Its a vast place with 2000 rooms
I went out and caught the hop on bus and completed the red route which passed through little India and Chinatown ..however overall it wasn't as good as the two trips yesterday.
On my return to the marina sands i went in the convention and shopping centre.It is also vast and in a copy of a design math and I saw in Vegas, it has boat ride down the middle of the shops
As the shops are not on the level of the Cambodia night market there is nothing i need from any of them.. I had a cup of tea and an éclair at the cafe over the water and then had a boat ride.
Finally time to collect my key,tho hadn't received txt message re room
I wasn't assisted to my room in this vast place which I thought was poor there are 3 towers and it's very confusing. I had various rides in various lifts till I cracked which lift ,which floor and which room
Undoubtedly the room was lovely but my primary concern was could I see the garden over the bay which is what I'd paid for ..answer....no not clearly there were bushes on the outside of the balcony. I had to jump to see over them....So ,I went back to reception and asked to change rooms.. 2 floors lower and in what I think is a slightly smaller ( though still vast room ) i have a balcony where i can see the gardens over the bay and the vast number of ships in the bay as well as the Cruise ships 🚢 .
The level is overwhelming and very emotional, because of how this has become possible. I video called Math and as mags also messaged she too got the guided tour
The toilet here ..lifts the lid automatically,when yiu draw close to it ! There's also various ablution programmes and a warm seat as in Japan
I cannot believe the toiletries are actually...Jo loves ! .. by jo malone
I've enjoyed an evening looking out over the bay with the patio doors open .Read more
