We spend two fantastic days in Singapore making the homeward journey more bearable
The Pan Pacific hotel in Marina Bay was fantastic - surrounded by shopping malls, a SIA bus-stop right outside but within walking distance of several attractions
We arrived at dusk having lost a few hours along the way. Quick supper in the Marina square complex - Japanese style set meal (not Sushi though)
Our room was on the 32nd floor with fabulous views over the city.
The sun set over the Mandarin Orient hotel opposite us on the other side of Raffles Boulevard
This is the view from the window. The sunblind and roman blinds were opperated by a remote control as were the aircon and lighting system
The strange roof of the conference centre is lit up at night an changes colour constantly 
The amazing Helix bridge is for pedestrians only and leads to the famous Marina Bay Sands hotel
The roof of the hotel has a huge infinity pool, casino, tree lined walkways and fantastic 360 degree views. As my legs were turning to jelly in our hotel glass lift I gave it a miss and treated myself to a fishy foot spa instead!
The high humidy produces storms from time to time - we got back to the hotel just before this one
Those people were braver than me!
The Singapore Flyer is like the London Eye but bigger

Clive on Marina Bay
The fish nibbling my toes - once you get over the tickling sensation its quite nice and leaves your skin soft and smooth
CBD - storm approaching
Afternoon tea on a Venetian canal in the Marina sands shopping Mall - surrounded by designer shops - Channel, Gucci......... the list is endless.
The theatre there is about to premier the first Asian production of the Lion King show and several of the cast were staying in our hotel. Hotel and show packages begin at around £600
The skating rink is a good place to chill out
The lotus shaped building is a fabulous museum and art gallery
Suntec City is a good place to eat out - the clientel varies - like my Lamborgini?
Night view from the lift - thank goodness it didn't have a glass floor too. Don't think I could have managed 32 flights of stairs
The 'lucky' fountain is stunning at night and is in the Guiness Book of records - sadly we missed the laser and water show as we were on our way back to the airport!
St Andrews Cathedral
View from the poolside - the round building on the top is a fabulous restaurant and if you look closely you may even see the window cleaners doing our room
The famous Raffles Hotel - they do a great Singapore Sling which leaves you legless - much safer to stick with afternoon tea or morning coffee.
