SINGAPORE, NIBBLE RAFFLES NUTS PHOTO'S\VIDEO & INFO
SINGAPORE
A four day stopover enroute to France. Singapore is officially known as the Republic of Singapore.
Raffles Hotel is the most famous hotel in Singapore.
Singapore Sling
The origin of the Singapore Sling Cocktail history dates back to the 1930's. Ingredients of gin, Grand Marnier, cherry liqueur, Bénédictine, pineapple, lime, bitters and club soda. Inside Raffles Hotel patrons enjoy a sling in the Long Bar for greater than $30 US. Beer is much more reasonable priced and the peanuts are free. It's a long held tradition to grab a bag of provided unshelled peanuts, eat and throw the discarded shells on the Long Bar floor. Do this anywhere else in Singapore and expect a large fine. Feels comical among the plush décor and obviously well heeled clientele.
Gardens By The Bay
Is a nature park spanning 101 hectares (250 acres) in the Central Region of Singapore. The park consists of three waterfront gardens. Supertrees are the 18 tree-like structures that dominate the Gardens' landscape with heights up to 50 metres (160 ft).
The Flower Dome is the largest greenhouse in the world. Free nightly light shows. Free picnics are allowed on the green lawns.
Marina Bay Sands
Is a casino hotel topped with a boat like structure said to resemble a deck of cards. An infinity edge pool at a height of 66.5 m (218 ft) overlooks the Singapore skyline. Access for guests only.
On this occasion we were caught out by an over flight of birds walking the F1 street track under construction for the upcoming race. The birds relieving themselves on us unsuspecting tourists walking below. Soiling our shirts. Singapore is a safe and clean city for tourists. Although, can be pricey.
