(see map) - trin: We had an afternoon and evening back in Singapore. So, we took in the sights we had missed on the first round. Mainly, Raffles Hotel and the river front area.
This time around, we splurged on a nice hotel but we still ate at the food hawkers. Why mess with a good thing? The facilities are clean and the food is tasty.
Raffles Hotel. We couldn't go inside the lobby due to our flip flops/slippers. But, we did visit the Long Bar, the birth place of the Singapore Sling, and the hotel museum.
From there we strolled down to the Singapore River.
That evening we walked up to Clarke Quay the main bar and restaurant area.
Performing Arts center and Singapore Flyer in the distance. Any Singaporean will tell you it is the largest in the world. Bigger than the London Eye or Eye on Malaysia.
Singapore's iconic Merlion, half lion half fish.
It was Friday night so Clarke Quay was crowded and the people watching was good.
We ordered a small pitcher of Carlsberg (they didn't have Tiger) and when the bill came Mike was shocked. Pitcher of beer in Singapore = $35US
