First day in Singapore

Breakfast with a view
Our first tour stop was to the oldest hotel in Singapore, Raffles, very British in influence. 
And what is more fitting for the birth place of the Sling, but a little bathtub gin!
By 11:00 is was already 30 and humid, beautiful, even though there was still a little cloud cover. Christine and Frank from Switzerland, and I are enjoyed a Singapore Sling from the restaurant on top of the Marina Bay Sands. Amazing observation deck.
The closest of the domes is the Flower Dome, the next one is laid out like a mountain forest, complete with cool mists.
The electric forest, what a view at night time when its all lit. All of the round tower like structures are lighted trees.
The Marina Bay Sands from a distance.
A quick stop to make a wish at the Merlion...
And on to one of the Chinese Temples.
God of the underworld...every culture has one!
This afternoon we will visit the Lucky Plaza, where Christine has found an amazing tailor shop...when in Singapore...!!!
