I have been to this scrap of Europe in Asia three times within 30 years. But it changes fast and I have good opportunity to refresh memories.
From cruise terminal where we are docking it is like 4 kms to the centre of the city. Cruise line offers shuttle bus for extra fee – 4 euro each way. But I decided to walk – just turn right from the terminal and then follow Central Blvd. On the upper floor of the terminal there is info office with good maps and free wi-fi…
Walk was not easy regarding the temperature and high humidity, it seems that I was the only walker 🙂 – my fellow prefere to walk around the ship…
Well, for the first time I saw this extravagant Marina Bay hotel – saying the true I do not like such a architecture… Merlion still is surrounded by the crowd of tourists. Streets perfectly clean… I crossed Singapore River to Bencoolen Street – once it was oasis of the cheap accommodation for backpackers. No longer! The little Chinese hotel where a stayed during my first visit to SIN does not exist…
