Day 5 : Singapore

Up early for a 5km on the treadmill while Krissi did her weights, then family breakfast at the buffet before heading out.

Singapore’s downtown is one of those places that photographs well from every angle - glass towers, palm trees, immaculate footpaths. I was too focussed on shopping to take any of those photos.

We walked through the shops, the Bugis Markets and then made our way to the National Gallery, located in the former Supreme Court and City Hall buildings. The current exhibition included a collection of political art from the 1970s and 80s.

From there, Maxwell Food Centre for Hainanese chicken rice.

Back to the hotel for a short break and some work, then out again for shopping.

Evening was dinner at Marina Bay Sands, followed by the Gardens by the Bay light show.

The trees are impressive enough in daylight, but at night during the sound and light show are something else. Everyone else in Singapore had the same idea - so it was packed.

We walked back along the waterfront before grabbing a cab home.

A drink in the hotel bar to close out the night - the negroni was very average - then an early bed. We have an overnight flight to Korea tomorrow.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Read more
