Day 1: Singapore Night Tour

---

The night tour was lots of fun. There was 23 people, mostly Aussies, some British and a Russian couple. I got picked up from my hotel at around 5:45 this afternoon, taken to The Singapore Flyer where I waited around. We were taken by bus to the Boat Quay on the riverfront. We were taken to a hot rock restaurant where we cooked our own meals!! and had a good chat while we watched the sky turn from blue to black. A beautiful sunset, although I missed it cause I was chatting. From there, we were taken to the Bugis Night Village where some hard-earned money was parted with, then on the bus again to the Raffles Hotel for the famous Singapore Sling. The Raffles hotel is so beautiful, it's a must see if you ever come to Singapore!

At the bottom of the Flyer was a little 'jungle' for people to walk through and look at the animals

A water fountain. It's nice to see that some places don't have such harsh water restrictions!

Boat Quay & all the little restaurants - reminds me of Xilokastro 4 years ago.

A junk or two on the river! We actually didn't hear them at all. It turns out they run on electricity, as the river is being slowly made into a reservoir for drinking water.

It was hot and crowded and smelly. But it was good :) Overall the same stuff you'd find in like Bali or in the old days at the Brickworks.

A palm tree, I forget its actual name but if you cut off a stem you can drink the water inside it
