Blog Day 120 Sat 3rd September Clarke Quay & Boat trip! This morning we treat ourselves to a little lie in, once up and ready we head back down to Orchard Road for a wander round. As it's a Saturday the place is so busy and it doesn't take long before we have had enough of a crowds. We still have another day left on our bus ticket so after a bite to eat, we take advantage of this and catch the bus round to Clarke Quay. This area is full of restaurants...

Blog Day 119 Fri 2nd September 2011 City Sightseeing Bus today! After a short Metro ride and Dan getting a photo next to a huge picture of Rick Astley we are back on Orchard Road to hop onto the city sightseeing bus. We find this is a great thing to do in order to get your bearings in the city.

Blog Day 118 Thurs 1st September 2011 So we got a little bit of sleep last night but the hostel didn't include bed sheets so with the air con on full blast it was pretty cold.

So as we are up we grab our bags & check...

Blog Day 117 Wed 31st August 2011 So today we are getting ourselves out of here. We get up & pack what little we've actually unpacked and make the trek back to where the bus dropped us off. We aren't entirely sure if there will even be any buses running or any shops open today as it's the end of Hari Raya (fasting). It's clearly not that big of a deal here anyway because everything seems open. We ask a lady walking by if the buses are running just to be su...

Blog Day 116 Tues 30th August 2011 So we are still alive. We survived the night & the bed is ant free. Today doesn't amount to much really. We head to the mall for a tasty cheap McDonalds lunch time meal deal, and then the afternoon is spent in the Starbucks writing the blog & sorting through photos etc. It was quite a nice afternoon of people watching too though, there are some random looking people here, yet they still have the cheek to stare at us a...
