Chinese New Year 3&4 Feb 2011 & M&D to stay 1-5 Feb


A delicious if not a little novelle meal with an amazing view


View of Boat Quay with the Asian Civilisation Museum, a muddy Padang, Supreme Court

View across the Marina Bay with the Esplanade Theatre (or Durian)in the foreground, Marina Bay Sands across the water and the Fullerton

We went to the Swissotel for dinner - the 70th floor with a fabulous view of the city


Teaching Grandpa a few camera tricks!

There is a new Botanical Gardens being built between the two - the red looking trees will have buildings in the canopies.

beyond the Barrage a new highway is being built and the ECP will become a boulevard


The Sky Park in the background.
Niall took M&D to see the Marina Barrage.
The Marina Bay is slowly turning into fresh water as Singapore has so much annual rainfall, and it will be used as a reservoir and a recreational area

From Mount Faber

A map of Sentosa

Niall took M&D to the Marina Barrage which gave another perspective of the Marina Bay Sands Resort -


Resort World Sentosa - Universal and its hotels

One Degree North - Marina and more condominiums

Vivo City Shopping Mall and one of the Docks looking towards the CBD

Looking towards Mount Faber

Leaving Mount Faber and heading over the ECP towards Sentosa

We went to Mount Faber and took the Cable Car across to Sentosa - it felt a bit strange not having skis! A great view of the surrounding area, especially the docks which will no doubt be built on



Dinner at Dempsey Au Petit Salut - delicious

On the Bow of the Sky Park, Bob shows us around - 57 floors up on the Marina Bay Sands Resort - a great view

The Year of the Rabbit

Mummy & Daddy came to stay with us over Chinese New Year - the Year of the Rabbit. They spent the previous 10 days on a cruise to Borneo, Brunei and Hong Kong.

We went to visit the Marina Bay Sands Resort and Bob showed us around the Sky Park and the Casino (viewing deck only)
