From the Lavender MRT station (a few steps away from our hotel), it is simply a couple of stops away to the Marina Bay complex. We were not deterred by the scorching sun and the high levels of humidity, we were ready with our bottled drinking water, our bimpo (hand towels) and of course our cellphone to capture snapshots to store in our memory warehouse.
No visit to Singapore is complete without soaking in the warm ambiance of the Marina Bay complex. There are several attractions all within walking distance. The imposing Marina Bay Sands hotel and casino, with a shopping mall and convention hall. The lotus flower shaped ArtScience Museum with rainwater flowing through its bowl shaped roof into a reflecting pool at the lowest level of the building.
A striking landmark, the Helix is a pedestrian bridge that connects Marina Centre with Marina South. The Singapore Flyer is one of the largest observation wheels (ferris wheel) in the world. Across the Singapore river, there is a panoramic view of the Singapore business district with the Merlion and the Fullerton Hotel, taking central stage.
