River Cruise and Departing Singapore

Friday, October 23, 2009
Singapore, Singapore
We again had a sleep in and then had breakfast at the hotel. We had been informed the day before that the usual breakfast rooms would be unavailable and that for today we had to go to a restaurant on the 70th floor for breakfast.
After eating we took some pictures of Marina Bay, Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Fort Canning Park from the restaurant and then went back to our room to get our day packs, then caught the MRT down to Raffles Place station.
We walked around the back of the Fullerton Hotel and under the Esplanade Bridge to Merlion Park where we boarded a bumboat for a river cruise up to Robertson Quay and back. It was a nice, cool trip up the river after a small loop around Marina Bay near the river mouth. Took some pictures of a few old bridges and a few of the landmarks of Singapore from a different perspective.
After the cruise we walked back to Raffles Place MRT and caught the train back to City Hall to return to the hotel. We had lunch at the Raffles City Food Court again and then back to the hotel to shower and pack our bags for the trip to the airport.
We checked out at 4pm and caught the MRT to Changi Airport where we got refunds for our EZ-Link cards and then caught the skytrain across to Terminal 3 to check in for our flight home.
We had dinner at the airport and took advantage of the free wireless internet to kill some time before having a coffee then boarding our flight home. The flight left on time and our Singapore trip had come to an end!
