Singapore

1st May - Singapore, Singapore

After our late afternoon arrival we check into our hotel, which was lovely, and went exploring.

We then got Tim, and sat but the river having a few beverages until it was our turn at the Crab place. We spent time by the river while in search of the perfect 'Black Pepper Crab' - a signature dish. And it was worth the two hour wait.

We found it.

Saturday 2nd May

I woke up to what sounded like a construction site collapse. An amazing noise. Then again a few minutes later. When I looked out the window it was a thunder storm.

The noise was amazing. Totally different to any thunder I had ever heard. Cool lightning as well.

It was then the Hop On Hop Off bus and my tour of Singapore.

The Botanic Gardens - one of only two cities in the world to have a rainforest in the city centre. The orchids were amazing. Some looked like aliens. Awesome but so hot!

Marine Bay Sands Hotel - the big one with the pool on top, built to look like a boat. It even had navigation and searchlights.

The Gardens by the Bay. Lunch of course was Singapore Noodles!

Orchard Road. Back on the Metro system. The best I have been on - even better than The Tube in London.

When they talk about Singapore being clean – you have no idea. Even a man to squeegee the public ponds.

I also wandered around Orchard Road for some time and came back on the Metro system. The best I have been on - even better than the Tube in London.

We then went down to our favorite bar for happy hour and had a few Mojitis...again.

A trip back to 'Gardens by the Bay' for the evening light show. Spectacular.

Dinner was at a place called 'Satay by the Bay' which was an eating place used by many locals. The food was amazing - and so much better priced than last night. LOL. And "YES", I did see an otter.

Singapore was lovely. The food was amazing and everything was so nice - and clean! I didn't eat a single thing that wasn't fantastic. 

3rd May - Rhapsody of the Seas

Boarding was very quick and easy. The D+ line was very short. The normal line was huge!

But it was so hot – not just hot but humid. Singapore was covered in a huge sweat cloud.

See ya Singapore. I'll be back in November.
