Ah Singapore

Singapore…. we weren’t sure what to expect but were certainly pleasantly surprised. A well planned, innovative modern city full of  impressive structures, gorgeous gardens and diverse people (there are 4 national languages here).

We wandered the city, easily navigated the transit system, not so easily avoided the huge shopping malls that seemed to be attached to several station stops! We marvelled at the architecture, sampled some great hawker food and enjoyed the delights we stumbled upon.

Add another 109 kilometres of walking the gardens and promenades to our 5 day stay, which when you think that Singapore is only 49 kilometres long,  it’s rather impressive.  Not difficult here with so many interesting sights to see.

And then there is the shopping… so many upscale malls, designer clothes, jewelry and more watch stores than thought possible.

What a fun time it’s been, already looking forward to returning! And if you’re looking for a nice watch, this is definitely the place to come!

    Did you walk on those aerial pathways…very cool. You two must be getting into good shape with all the walking you’re doing.
    Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for sharing, love, mom.
