Day 8: A stroll around Singapore

Day 8 was the last day of our vacation. We were catching the flight back to India the next day. So we decided to take a walk around Singapore.

Cherry loft Apartments where we were staying in Singapore was close to Little India. I wanted to go to Bugis Street which is flea market which is really good for shopping. So we decided to walk through Little India, have lunch there and then head on to Bugis Street.

Bugis Street was very crowded and it was a lot of fun to browse through the different shops. I ended up buying a few necklaces from Talisman's there. Bugis Street is a teenager's paradise in terms of clothes, shoes and accessories. It is also a good place for souvenirs but we found that these were cheaper in Little India. Bugis is also a great place to buy bags. So if you are interested in bags, definitely visit Bugis!

From Bugis Street, we took a bus to Clarke Quay. Clarke Quay is a wonderful place to hangout anytime during the day. You already saw Clarke Quay pics by night on Day 4, here I will share some Clarke Quay evening pics. :)

From Clarke Quay, we took to metro to Marina Bay Sands (it has a free light and sound show at 8.30pm and 9.30pm). Along with Clarke Quay, Marina Bay Sands is another great place to visit at night. So do keep two evenings free when you visit Singapore to visit these 2 places.

Hope you enjoy these last few pics from my vacation. Next up will be a review of makemytrip.com.

Day 5: Singapore city tour + off to cruise

Day 4 was dedicated to Singapore city tour and shopping and then it was off to the cruise at night.

Singapore is a small, very modern city. The main places to visit during a day tour of the city are Singapore flyer, Merlion, China town, Orchard road and little India. Of course, there are many other places, but these ones are a must visit.

Singapore flyer: Singapore's answer to London Eye. It is taller than London Eye and offers a fabulous view of the city. My suggestion would be to board the flyer twice, if time permits, once during the day and once at night. The flyer even has a restaurant (inside one of the capsules) and you can even book it for parties, weddings and such!
