TRAVEL
cable car over the sea estuary to the
amusement parks of Sentosa Island and
the Universal Thyme Park almost seemed
another world from the Asian city itself
and perhaps this is why it is divided
by the cable car ride, which if nothing
else, is worth taking for the experience
providing you have a head for heights!
On my last day of the second three
day visit before returning to London
I was determined to visit The Marina
Bay Sands Hotel which is famous for its
architecture and stands on three huge

stilts with the top elevation resembling
a boat, including a swimming pool
installed at a height of over 1,500 feet.
This was the first time in my life that I
was able to look down upon fireworks
being set off from the harbour and to see
the entire night lights of Singapore while
dining in the roof top restaurant, an
experience which I shall never forget.
Added attractions and not to be
missed, are the Singapore Flyer, similar
to the London Eye but larger, the open
top bus around the City and the Duck
amphibious vehicle taking in the sights
of the City and harbour.
Your visit would not be complete
without a sample of the famous
Singapore Sling drink and if you are
feeling extravagant then take it in the
famous Raffles Hotel bar. Singapore left
such an impression with me that if I
am able to visit Australia again it most
certainly would be my preferred ‘stop
off ’ option, or in fact a separate holiday
destination as there was still so much
more to see and experience.
