SINGAPORE 2

A beautiful but exhausting day exploring Singapore. Woke early and headed out in the thunderstorms for breakfast only to find most places not opening until 12 on Sundays. Wandered all the way to Marina Bay and Starbucks for coffee. Decided to keep walking over to the Singapore Flyer (wheel). Spectacular views and rain had stopped. Caught Hop on Hop Off Bus to China Town. Explored the market and ate yummy lunch. Walked back to our hotel for a shower and a short rest which was just as well as still had heaps of sight seeing and walking ahead of us. Couldn’t believe it to find a cafe across the road based on Friends so just had to stop for a drink. David was in his element and I told him it was the treat I’d been promising him for Fathers Day. The cafe was full of memorabilia from the show, even Rachael’s wedding dress. Caught bus to Marina Bay Sands. Wandered into the hotel foyer which was amazing. Then walked down to Gardens by the Bay. The walkway in the treetops was great and the gardens were stunning and the extra money we paid for the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest was money well spent. Both were gorgeous with the most beautiful and extravagant garden displays. We left there at 6 pm and walked a very long way back to Boat Quay where we both settled for a burger and a drink before our walk back to the hotel. Finished our night sitting on the riverside steps watching another night of huge activity on the water.Read more
