Singapore day 1

We arrived at Singapore airport at 11 pm and got to the hotel about midnight. We sat in the bar and had a Singapore Sling before going to bed.

We had two tripped booked for the 3 days, they were meant to be one on Sat and one on Sunday but they put them both onto Saturday so up early for breakfast.

The first trip was a city tour, we went to see the Merlion the symbol of Singapore, also took some photos of the british town hall and the cricket being played on the green in front of it.

We went to various places around the city before going to a temple which was very colourful. We left this and went to an orchid garden again very colourful and sry lots of pictures of flowers.

We eventually got back to the hotel and after a great buffet lunch back out for a trip of the coast and a small town. We were taken to a temple (the city has such a mix of nationalities, cultures and religious). We then went on to a WWII church and museum, very moving and sad to see the suffering that went on in Singapore.

From there we were taken to a local town and went round the food markets. We have now been to 3 far east cities and this is our favourite by far, really friendly people and not so in your face as Hong Kong or Bangkok. The shopping is great as well!
