Singapore..... again.





Three months into our trip it was time to get back to Singapore before flying to Bali.
We really enjoyed Singapore last time so we thought we'd spend a few more days here before flying out. We arrived in Singapore at 10:30am found the closest MRT underground station which took us to our guesthouse. after dropping off our bags we headed to Orchard Road fore some food and a look around the malls. The next day we walked along Clarke Quay and stopped for a pint of ale in the brewerkz, where they brew their own ale. It was nice to have a decent pint of their finest hopback ale. We carried on walking down the river to the famous Singapore lion where we seen a Asian soap being filmed, and a super model having a photo shoot. That night we made our way to the night safari and started the evening by watching a Bornean tribal fire show.
We then watched the creatures of the night show before hopping on the night safari tram and beginning our tour of the park. As well as the tram we also walked the safari trails it was strange walking through a zoo at night. We seen some really interesting animals such as fruit bats, flying squirrels (which we actually saw fly), and the clouded leopard. By the time we arrived home it was gone midnight. On our final day we got the monorail across to Sentosa island, which now hosts a universal studios. All buses and transport on the island is free. We got the blue line bus to fort Sentosa, a fort that was built by the British and used in world war 2. The soldiers surrendered to Japanese and fort Sentosa become a prisoner of war camp for three years, until the end of the world war. After the fort we went to underwater world which has many different species of sea creatures a dolphinarium and UV jellyfish tanks. We spent a few hours looking around before heading to Sentosa beach for a beer and a pizza (extremely tasty) and enjoy watching the flowriders. We still cant believe how clean and efficient Singapore is by far our favourite city.
