SINGAPORE

Thursday 23 September: SINGAPORE: Day 1 on the ground, We landed in Singapore not as refreshed as we would have hoped, not the best night’s sleep on board our 777. Anyway we spent the day with Craig and Wendy Smith ex LIFE’ers who are now living here. They took us to the $6 Billion, Marina Sands Hotel and Casino. Its 3 towers with a massive span that has observation decks, alfresco dining and an infinity pool that looks back across the city. Fairly impressive building, I remember seeing it on Megastructures on SkyTV recently (see the pics). We then hit Orchard Rd for the shops just to browse, no buying though. Had a great dinner down at the beach, at a seafood place, jammed packed, and great food. Now I’m sitting here in Changi Airport awaiting to board our 1.05am flight to Rome, let the fun begin!!!! But the free Wi Fi is working….
