We did a quick weekend in Singapore to reset our 30-day visas to Indonesia. Our flight arrived around midnight and we grabbed a cab to our AirBnB. Except the cabbie didn’t use GPS and couldn’t really find the place. We finally got him to call our host to successfully navigate the last couple of blocks.
We found a great breakfast Saturday and set out walking to the Gardens By The Bay. Singapore is a beautiful city. Here are many pictures!
The downtown core. On the very left is the Helix Bridge (for pedestrians). The three-tower building with what looks like a surfboard on top is the stunning Sands hotel and casino.

We walked a lot (over 13 miles on the day!) and explored a bit by train as well. We tried to catch a ferry to some islands in the harbor, but we missed the last ferry by about 15 minutes. Then we tried to head to the Raffles hotel, home of the Singapore Sling, but it was closed for major renovations. So we found a rooftop bar and a lovely (but pricey) bottle of bubbles at the end of the day.
