Singapore 2020


Beautiful view from hotel room balcony
Hello all,
So this month we took our chances among the Covid-19 concerns and followed through with out travel arrangements to Singapore.

We had a great time during our six day stay.

We stayed at the hotel Swissotel in downtown Singapore. It was a really nice hotel with its own market place for food.



      
A main attraction is the Skywalk at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Here you can get a great view of the city.  One good thing about coming at a time when many places were restricting travel is there weren't crowds of people.  We didn't feel rushed and we were able to get some good pictures.

The Merlion, a half-fish and half-lion statue, has become an icon of Singapore. There are six Merlion statues throughout Singapore but the one in Marina Bay is the only one that spouts out water.

The food was also amazing. We tried a couple of the hawker food centers.  They are really convenient and offer something for everyone.  Alex and I only had one bad meal the entire trip and that was because we were super hungry and we just stopped at the first place we found.
   
  
Singapore was a cool place to visit. We visited the botanical gardens, Gardens by the Bay and the Super Tree Grove, The Jewel shopping center, the wave bridge, and some temples.
      
I think I really enjoyed Singapore because there were no crowds. It may have been a different experience with many tourists there but I would definitely go back to this destination.
