The next stop on our journey takes us to Singapore. Thanks to the excellent public transportation, we can quickly and affordably get anywhere we want.
Singapore is a fantastic city. We drive through the entire country and visit all the sights.
In Kampong Glam, we enter the Sultan Mosque and borrow robes.
We stroll through the lively Chinatown and wander through the alleys.
One highlight is Marina Bay Sands. After finally finding the exit of the huge shopping center from the subway, which even has a canal with gondolas and an artificial ice rink, we visit the Helix Bridge, the museum, the Singapore Flyer, and much more. One of these buildings is the famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel, where we take the elevator to the 57th floor and have a wonderful view of the brightly lit city at night. We watch the laser show that takes place here every day. To our surprise, we can also admire a fantastic fireworks display today.
In Singapore, people love to go shopping, which is why there is a shopping center on almost every street corner. Most of them are located on Orchard Road. About 25 huge shopping malls line up here. One of the most spectacular ones is the ION Orchard. We absolutely have to visit it and take the elevator to the 56th floor. The view is amazing. We can see all the way to the coast.
Not far away is the Botanic Garden where we can take a leisurely stroll.
We must not miss the Singapore Zoo either. It is a very beautiful facility where we can observe many animals.
The Gardens at the Bay also offer us another destination - an absolute must-see in the city. Here, too, we watch the colorful light show in the evening.
Since we have allotted enough time, we can even visit the 'amusement island'. We walk across the long bridge to Sentosa, where we find the Universal Film Studios, Madame Tussauds, a Sky Tower, a casino, and much more. After strolling around the island and making a short visit to the casino, we make our way back home.
It was a great time in this small country where we saw and experienced so much that I can't mention everything.
Now we are moving on to our next destination, and we are already excited about it.
