Singapore highlights!

It seemed like a great idea to visit Singapore after a visit to Nepal and Bhutan........ it is however a 6 hour flight! Sort of like flying across the US! But the only choice was an overnight flight so it actually worked out OK.

We arrived early morning  to our hotel  the Parkroyal on Pickering ....which was a great hotel....

our room on the 14th floor looked out on greenery.... amazing!

The pool area was also fantastic.....

and we had access to a private lounge on the top floor......with a great view!

 Chinatown was on our doorstep...........

...we spent our first  afternoon on a bumboat....

to give the lay of the land......and see where we would afterwards check out by foot.

The top of the Marina Sands hotel gives an amazing view of the city...

however I am not sure I would feel comfortable in the pool.........

The Gardens by the Bay, with its iconic Supertrees, is fabulous..

Any visit to Singapore should include a visit to  the old colonial area of the city.....
particularly a visit to Raffles hotel ...........

and its historic bar and their famous  gin sling......

There are lots of interesting museums.....giving the history of Singapore.....

and a visit to the National Gallery in the original City Hall building, is not to be missed
in particular the rooftop bar....

 with its amazing view...possibly the best in the city!.
