Spore Traveller

For your short stay, suggest the following :<BR><BR>- book half day city tour which will give you a combination of sights in the city, Chinatown, little India, Arab Street. No sense spending precious time trying to figure out routes or running around.<BR>- Stroll around Clarke Quay after 6pm, get on a short Bumboat ride along Spore River. Drop off at Boat Quay and have dinner there or walk towards The Fullerton hotel for dinner. It's a 1920s historic GPO bldg with imposing columns, now a swanky & luxurious hotel. If nothing more, just go into the lobby for a look or have a drink at their hip bar at lobby level.<BR>- shopping along Orchard Rd is mind boggling due to the variety offered in the long stretch of malls. <BR>- Or go to Raffles City mall & either have a meal at the top of the tallest hotel attached to it (Equinox restaurant) or cross road to Raffles hotel for dinner & drinks. Dress smart casual for both places required during dinner. Have a good time.

Some of my faves: the Botanical Gardens, especially the Orchid Garden. Have a very romantic lunch at Les Amis au Jardin, a fancy (and expensive) French restaurant in the Botanical Gardens, The Asian Civilization museum.

Bored

Not a lot. Get out the island quick.

Go on a night safari...very good fun. Definately shop at Orchard Rd, don't bother with Sentosa island and go to Raffles for a drink.

May: Definitely go to the Raffles for a drink. As we were getting almost sick of all the shopping malls on Orchard Road, etc., we went to the zoo and had a quiet and most pleasant day out there.<BR>The Orchid Garden is nice as well whereas I found Chinatown really made up for tourists. Nothing to do with China. Liked Little India a bit better. But this is just my personal opinion. Did not care about Sentosa either.<BR>Heard, that Jurong Bird Park is nice. Did not go though.<BR>Have fun and enjoy your honeymoon.

Jurong Bird Park is nice - but to see it - you'll need to get there - visit the birds - and get back - and it isn't downtown. Takes a train and a bus to get there. Visit the Jurong Bird Park is you have a longer stay. Same for the Night Safari.

If you are booked on Singapore Airlines, they are running a special called Singapore Stopover. Lots of the above mentioned tours for $1.00.<BR>Congratulations and have fun.
