Travel: Singapore Photo Diary

I guess today's post is fitting for a throw-back Thursday (#tbt #erhmergerd #fashunnnn), and at the present I am on day eleven of twelve days in a row at work.  The light at the end of the tunnel is there!  My brain is beginning to get soggy around the edges and all I want to do is lie on the floor and stare at the ceiling!  Ahhh, the working #lyfe.  I guess I'll just have to live vicariously through my Singapore photos and pine for the golden week of leave in a couple of months.  So soon, but so far away...

I was in S-town a couple of weeks ago for a junket conference (I jest! I swear I attended and learnt things.) which of course meant the extra days I had there were spent trawling the shoppes, visiting the zoo and Sentosa, and eating everything under the sun with Simon.  Food recommendations to come since that was Simon's (food)-baby, but today are just some pretty pictures after the jump to convince you that making the 5-hour plane ride is very much worth it!

Shop:

1. Ion Orchard - everything the body needs.  Including Cos, Muji, Royce Chocolate, and Uniqlo!

2. The Marina Bay Shoppes - if you're feeling particularly loaded...

Visit:

1. S.E.A. Aquarium, Sentosa Island - if you're into that stuff like I am.  

2. Sentosa Island in general if you like theme parks and touristy fare

3. Singapore Zoo night safari - do it at least once!

4. The Flower Dome & Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay (maybe not one for boys...)

Walk:

1. Orchard Rd to Marina Bay - a solid 45 mins at T's-power-pace one-way from Scotts Rd.  Definitely stop for icecream sandwiches on the way

2. Around Clarke Quay and across to Marina Bay Sands - you can do a loop around the quay 

3. Gardens by the Bay - very man-made, but nice for a stroll if you're tired of shopping at MBS.
