• Super Singapore Skyline

    May 7, 2025 in Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C

    A super comfy bed and pillows ensured I woke up late.
    Opening the curtains is possible by pressing a button at the side of the bed ! to reveal the view over the bay with the hundreds of ships as far as the eye can see.
    To go for breakfast, I found my way in the lift from my floor (22nd) to floor 55 for the lift to floor 57...the much discussed floor with the infinity pool.
    It absolutely has the WoW factor. The infinity pool overlooks the city and the marina.
    The other side overlooking the gardens over the bay and has jacuzzi to relax in whilst watching the view.
    The skyline here is mesmerising. I can look at it for ages.without tiring..
    The city side is amazing for the skyscrapers but I think I prefer the Bay view with all the ships and tankers
    The view is amazing in the day but has a fabulous vibe lit up after dark ,when everything is lit up
    Breakfast menu was fancy ..no bacon butty here! Avocado salmon and egg on toast...! It was OK....not really my thing
    Returned to my room and this girl might be living it large right now but when you have to do your hand washing, you have to do it so I dealt with it and adorned the balcony with various items, in a move more suited to benidorm than Singapores posh hotel..So those people looking from the observation deck of the Gardens by the bay ,may have seen more than they bargained for!🤣
    Having done 3 bus tours and a night cruise in 2days i decided to relax in my lovely room and get my money's worth out of it ...the next I knew it was 4pm.and I had been asleep for at least 3hrs.

    The toilet lid here lifts automatically if it senses you and has various buttons to wash and dry your personal areas as well as a hot bot seat ..this will be an essential purchase when home. The brand is Toto ..also found in Japan...but the lid didn't lift automatically there (tut!tut!)

    Whilst on my travels I have been planning a trip to India, but last night had to take the difficult decision to postpone,due to the conflict
    I went in search of the observation deck on the 56th floor and as Jan had been texting I rang her ...
    I've not and generally don't go in the pool but saw a lady who had paddled to the edges of the infinity pool to take photos so I decided to do the same.
    I filmed some of the laser show in the bay
    Eventually I had dinner..an Aberdeen Angus burger 🍔 😋 at long last something recognisable to eat...!
    There's a lot of fuss here about completing customer service surveys ....constantly..which is a pain....and i don't do them...but being constantly asked to do so is irritating
    I returned to my room to discover that housekeeping had been in and closed the curtains made the bed and moved things...not impressed...as I'd had a phone call earlier asking if I wanted housekeeping...no thanks..so rang them and stated no housekeeping for tomorrow
    I actually watched tv on this cinema size screen...to see the papal conclave starting..too tired to wait the hour for the 1st ballot as midnight here at that point.. but i felt sure it would take more than one ballot ,so settled to sleep.
