Today is our last day in Singapore. We woke to similar stormy conditions to those one our first day. Luckily, we'd pretty well ticked off almost all of our must-do activities. We were at a bit of a loss of what to do with the weather not being the best. Eventually, we decided that we'd catch the train to the Marina Bay Sands and walk around the Bay shoreline as far as the Merlion.
Our walk started outside the Marina Bay Sands shoppes and we meandered our way past the Artscience Museum enroute to the Helix Bridge. The grey skies weren't especially conducive to photography.
The Helix, as it is officially called, is supposed to represent a DNA double helix. It is a prety impressive stainless steel structure.
Having traversed the bridge, we navigated around a waterfront construction site toward the Theatres Bay The Bay complex.
This style of statue, depicting life in Singapore long before the trading compaines came to the island, are dotted all over the city. They are quite the contrast against the overwhelming modern technology surounding them.
The Merlion was very busy with tourists. It is the iconic landmark of Singapore, so it stands to reason, I guess.
Close by, the Melion cub sits under the shade of some small trees. The tiling is done with recycled broken plates.
At this point we were done. Somewhat out of ideas and wanting to escape the humidity, we decided to go back to Vivo where we could be comfortable in the air conditioning and be assured of options for lunch.
As we wandered past the entrance to The Fullerton Hotel, we spotted this orange statue. For once, Harry was impressed with the modern Italian art work more than we were.
