Our plane which will take us to Tokyo and Singapore
|
The flight path to Tokyo takes us over Alaska
|
Be sure to heed those important airport reminders'
|
Our approach to Changi A/P reveals numerous ships in Singapore harbor (900 ships come & go
from the harbor every day)
|
View from the hotel provides glimpses of Dutch architectural influence..
|
woohoo, we're going to Singapore's 'Underwater World', the largest aquarium in Asia :-)
|
Sooo excited ! Gonna dive in the aquarium with sharks, stingrays, and Gracie the Dugong !!
|
Stingrays were hungry. Wings, barbs, and tails were everywhere !
|
Fell in love with Gracie, the Dugong ! What a gentle and playful girl ! She let me rub her
tummy, kiss, and feed her. So sad when I had to leave..
|
Some sharks are just 'hams'..
|
Sky Train ferries passengers around Sentosa Island (fast !)
|
We encountered unique rodents..
|
Nights were magical with dragons..
|
|
Food vendors with dim sum treats, congee, sesame and fish balls, and the ever-tasty gelatinous congealment
|
... oh yeah, and headless chickens
|
'Merlion', symbol of Singapore, stands proudly over Sentosa Island. Merlion is half Mermaid, and half Lion.
|
Another iconic symbol of Singapore

|
We paid a nostalgic visit to China Town
|
Not certain about these things (mice with gold peanut feet), but they were colorful..
|
Local color at a ChinaTown market
|
The perfunctory Tiger beer (and chopsticks) with our Chinese meal

Clarke Quay – Refurbished riverwalk
area. Plastic jellyfish-looking roofs hang overhead.
|
G-Max Reverse Bungy - Singapore’s first extreme ride. You sit in a steel capsule,
attached by bungy cords to two towers. They tighten then release the cords, catapulting you 60m in the air up to 200kph.
|
More beautiful scenery on the winding walk around the river. Bars, restaurants everywhere - bungee towers
are on the right.
|
Night at Clarke Quay - We enjoyed dinner on the floating restaurant boat, and tried 'Singapore Slings'
:-)
