Another hot day. Today we decided to see the sights of Singapore.To orient ourselves with the city we decided to take an open top bus tour. Like the Sydney Explorer its a great way to have a quick look around and get on and off as you please. We took advantage of this in London, Bath, Bristol, York, Paris and Rome. We bought a two day pass which gives you access to 3 bus routes so tackled two today. We also rode the Singapore Flyer, Singapore’s answer to the London Eye and according to the literature it is 5 metres higher. Absolutely no queues which is the way I like it. The Wheel has 28 pods which hold 28 people and goes Clockwise rather than anticlockwise like the Eye. The commentary is straight out of a Feng Shui lesson, but despite that the views are breathtaking. There is a heap of building happening and the new developments and land reclamation shows that Singapore is a go ahead place. Our bus tours took us to the old and new parts of Singapore. Bill is very tempted to do a Ferrari/Lamborghini tour but will see what time we have. We only have a full day and a half left. We have both decided we need to come back to Singapore for a few more days. We also did a river cruise from Clarke Quay which took us down the Singapore river and out to Marina Bay. Had a wee walk down Orchard Road which is out of this world expensive but hey we can say been there, done that.
