Singapore

On Tuesday we flew to Singapore in the morning, arriving at noon. We ended up upgrading our room at the Fairmont Singapore Hotel so we could get into our room early.  However, it turned out to be a fantastic deal, as we got full breakfast, free internet, happy hour drinks & food and a spacious suite.  We then took a walk down to the Marina Bay area to get a feel for the city.  It is a spectacularly beautiful place. We plan to take a the hop-on, hop-off bus tomorrow to see more of the city.

Singapore has some spectacular architecture and very modern buildings


With lots of green vegetation


And lots of street art

  1. The architecture is amazing! I hope the tour talked about it. I've seen pictures of the 3 buildings with the "ship" on top. Must have been neat to see it in person!
