An orchid overload near the Singapore River Cruise ticket counter at Clarke Quay
Today (May 13, 2014) was Vesak Day in Singapore. For us it was an unexpected holiday. Starting the day at an easy pace, we went out for lunch. We both felt like some comfort food. So we went to our preferred A-Roy Thai restaurant at the Funan Digital Mall. There we decided to go to Little India after lunch. I suggested we take the MRT from Clarke Quay instead of going to our regular City Hall MRT station. Clarke Quay was nearer from Funan. While walking towards Clarke Quay, we saw the pristine looking boats cruise by. My partner suggested we take a cruise trip and then go to Little India. I agreed and we both boarded the boat 37, as suggested by the boat operators. A boat ride for two cost us S$44. These are some of the pictures that would say more than words here.

That’s the Supreme Court of Singapore
Another landmark of Singapore: The Asian Civilization Museum
The famous Merlion of Singapore.
The amazing Marina Bay Sands Bay area. It’s a whole new world of experiences.

My favourite 🙂
The Esplanade – A theatre destination of Singapore complete with a sky garden, food stalls etc. Because of its design, people call it the Durian (a local fruit)
Our co-passengers in the boat – a mother-daughter duo 🙂
