We must have needed the sleep, we didn't wake up until 10.30am!
We got showered and headed out straight away, not expecting the brightness to blind us and the heat to hit us so hard as soon as we stepped outside of the hotel!

We headed for the Marina area; we stopped off at the promenade station and walked down towards the Singapore flyer, its big but not as good looking as the London Eye. I thought that everything was a little further apart from each other than it actually was; the flyer was opposite Marina Bay Sands resort, and boy! what a huge building, it has a bloody ship on the top of it! Its a good looking building and the bridge leading over to it is nice aswell, its all mystical! The formula one track goes around the Singapore flyer and passed the floating football field. Thats pretty cool aswell!
Its nice to see the main downtown business district from afar, its so peaceful over in the bay just looking at everything from a distance. We walked into the Marina bay sands hotel, it was pretty special. Everything was immaculate! We had to pay S$25 each to go up to the view deck so we decided against that. We just walked around having a nose at all the expensive shops in the lobby and the Lamborghini and ferrari parked outside. The shopping mall that was attatched to it was also pretty snazzy with all the posh shops like chanel, gucci, dior and ralph lauren. We felt too grubby to be walking passed them let alone going inside them to have a look! Scott made me laugh, 'once again we look like the grubby skint people that need a wash and cant afford anything' haha! it was funny but so true. I didnt even want to go in the convenience store to buy a much needed bottle of water, even when we did pluck up the courage we found 8 oranges for S$40! I mean they didn't even look special once you took them out of the box and pulled the foam wrapping off. Ridiculous! It was most definitely time to go! We walked back around to the otherside of the marina to the Merlion statue. It was something to do with their independence. It was a nice walk, and the views of the city and the bay were lovely. Everything is so so clean! We have never been to a place so clean! They had workers cleaning and polishing the stainless steel going around the water. I mean.... you don't get that in Cardiff bay do you! They need to step their game up!

We walked through the city, passed all the very expensive hotels with all the very expensive cars outside and the business men and their wife's laughing off how rich they are. I dislike them. They soon stopped laughing once they seen us pair hill billies walking over their entrance carpet leaving a whoft of our natural essence behind us. We won that one!

We jumped aboard the metro back to the hotel just before rush hour and had a look around little india, where there arent really any Indian restaurants... WHAT!? Although they have some cracking fruit and veg stalls with Indian aromas everywhere, women in their saris and tailor making shops dotted around. It was an up market version of India, a more wealthier one and certainly a more clean one! They're just missing the cows and tuk tuks!

We spotted a vietnamese restaurant earlier with reasonable prices (for singapore prices anyways) We couldnt resist the Pho! Oh how we have missed that noodle soup dish! It didn't disappoint either, it tasted so good!! Certainly better than any other knock off version we have had in Thailand!

After food we went in search of the Raffles hotel, the famous place people go to drink the original singapore sling cocktail at a stupid price and eat nuts and throw the shells on the floor (a hefty fine that would be if you got caught! haha.) We found it, and it was a really pretty but there were nobody in the bar drinking slings and cracking nuts which was pretty disappointing!
We headed down to the marina again to see the city lit up, and boy was it pretty! It was still so peaceful, even with all the restaurants open. It was warm and quiet, we could have happily sat there all night and watched the world go by!
We decided to splurge considering we were only here once and we aren't going to universal studios tomorrow because its so expensive. We went up the Singapore Flyer to get a birds eye view of everything. It was about 15 GBP each which isn't too bad. According to the knowledge area before you board the wheel, its bigger than the London eye and most of the other Ferris wheels in the world. The view was AWESOME, Scott had a few of his sketchy moments as he does when he gets high up n the sky - he's not always great with heights!
The gardens by the bay (which cost S$28 each to go in) looked beautiful, it had all these sculptures you could walk up and around, the lights were really pretty coming from them. There was a thunderstorm in the far distance - nothing for us to worry about though!
The views were stunning, again so peaceful and quiet just seeing the city from a far. It really is a nice country! We walked back down to marina bay afterwards and went through the posh shopping mall to get the train back home.
Dirty stop outs tonight, we didnt get in until 11.30pm and our bodies are aching!

Scott's phone has a health gadget on it and tells you how far you have walked (its pretty accurate because we tested it...) So no lies when it told us that we had walked over 26,000 steps today which worked out to be 23km! And boy did our bodies feel as though we had walked that far! Ouch.
