Today the kids and I went on a 30 minute boat ride on the Singapore River. The boat ride takes you through Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, and into the Marina bay. A few decades ago, bumboats carried cargo and people up this river. The business district surrounds the river and both Clarke and Boat Quay are now lined with restaurants and bars. From the boat, we were able to see several of the major landmarks in Singapore, including one of the merlion statues, which is the logo and mascot for Singapore.
The kids loved trying things on at one of the local shops and really wanted to buy something!

ReplyDeleteMary- you are inspiring me to do some more exploring around here with the kids! I think if I was in Singapore I would probably kick it by the pool all day! Will you guys make a turkey on thanksgiving?
Love those merlions. Don't eat the frogs--you will get warts.
