Sight seeing in singapore.......

So the first thing we needed to do was buy another bag... Sadly I was not coping well with carrying the  backpack :( I really wanted to be able to do it but I just couldn't so we went out and found me a backpack on wheels so I could pull it along and also I could wear it on my back.....perfect! We also realised very soon that we had to much stuff :( although we went through it many times in the uk the reality was it was still to much and was proving very stressful to repack and find stuff all the time :( but that will have to be sorted in Asia when we find a post office.


Seeing the sights ........
Our first tourist destination was marina bay :) we ventured down there in the evening and it really took our breath away :) it was stunning lots of lovely buildings lit up with the water as the backdrop we spent all evening there and wondered round the whole of the bay. It was then we realised that the F1 raving was going to start the day after we leave.... We were gutted :( but we did get to see some if the track.



Our next venture was to take a stroll and just see where we end up! We spent the next afternoon doing that and it great just strolling around taking in singapore :) we wondered into a market, and to some temples, to the raffles hotel :) we also wondered over to a small food cafe and tried the most tastiest onion spring rolls! They were lovely :) we decided to try some of the local tastes by eating in the Indian restaurant below our hotel "aromas in India" we both had lovely currys and am glad we did it :)



It was then time for our night safari.... I have been waiting for this for a while and was excited... We join our tour operated and was walked to where we collect the bus and had to wait for around 20 minutes and during this time we felt quite uncomfortable in the area we were in :( but we rode it out and waited for the bus when it came we were relieved and got on to start our journey to the night safari......
The night safari itself was great and then you got to walk around the different trails and see the animals up close in there environment at night it was a great experience :) we then were hungry it was 10pm and we hadn't had dinner yet..... We went to where the food was and it was soooo expensive so we thought we would get a ice cream instead.....WRONG ! It was £8 for one scoop! Absolutely descracful :; I a hocked at the prices they charge in tourist areas ! Anyway we decided to get the bus back and go to the huge mustafa centre and get our own food! Which we did and it was lovely :))

We spend another afternoon having a wonder down to Chinatown :) we loved it there we got the MRT and walked out directly to the market ! It was great :) we went and found a couple of temples we wanted to find.... Incliding the Buddha tooth temple....which I wasn't allowed into as I was showing my shoulders and knees :(  but Luke went in and took some pics :) a lovely time in Chinatown :) ....

....one last venture was going to the famous "orchard road" we were not impressed :( no cheap shopping here and a lot of people trying to get you in there shops! Not impressed :(
