Glitzy Sights & Dancing Lights

We head into Marina Bay around 5:00 so we can arrive in time to see the sound and light show. First we go by the food centre planning to grab a bite to eat but we realise we are still so full from lunch time we just aren’t interested in eating.

We hop on the 33 bus to Dakota then switch to the MRT to go the rest of the way to Bayfront by train. It took us a while to figure out how to get out of the station but we got there in the end. We ended up going through the Marina Bay Sands shopping centre with all the top brands featured. A lot of e-money passes through the ether around here I’m sure.

There is even a short canal on the lower ground level and you can pay to be boated along it. At the very top is “the vortex” a swirling water feature that is quite mesmerising. We reach the waterfront with half an hour to spare and watch dusk descend over the bay as the city lights grow more intense.

The show is spectacular and lasts around 15 minutes after which we make our way home via the food centre for the satay sticks we passed up earlier.Read more
