Singapore #1

We had a fairly uneventful flight to Singapore yesterday and managed to eat 2 dinners separated by a 6 hour sleep. The only negative was a sniffling Asian gent up the front. Looks as though Pen was happy enough with the tucker.

We arrived in Singapore at about 6pm after an 11 hour flight. Luckily the airport had lots of moving platforms to get us to the baggage claim. The thing that struck us was how many green areas there were and the trees along many of the roads.   The hotel was very central with several malls close by. I got a cab across the river from the hotel and had wondering views of the city. 

We took a hop on hop off bus trip the next day and drove through the CBS area of the city with its sky scrapers and lots of trees lining the streets and plenty of green areas. The botanical gardens were very tropical as Singapore is right on the equator.
