Welcome to Singapore!

Time to get back on the move properly again! A 5.30 am start today to get to the airport for our 8.30am flight. Everything went very smoothly and our plane bound for Singapore left on time. On arriving in Singapore Diane had a little hiccup trying to get through the automatic gate which didn't want to read her fingerprint... Fortunately this was straightened out pretty quickly and we made our way to the hotel.

We planned to start exploring the CBD but unfortunately the weather had other ideas. So we holed up in a mall until the rain dried up. On the way we saw an absolute monster of a snail chilling by the footpath! We then walked over to Marina Bay to get a good view of the iconic Singaporean skyline and the Merlion.

As it started to get a bit darker we made our way towards The Gardens and got a great view of the skytrees all lit up.

Time for a bit of food so we caught a taxi to Lau Pa Sat - a very cool food hall with an amazing atmosphere and many different Asian cuisines to choose from. We opted for some Fujian province style fried noodles and BBQ prawns, washed down with a nice cold Tiger beer. And we couldn't resist a couple of sweet treats for dessert either!Leggi altro
