Singapore

On arrival in Singapore we were transferred to the ‘Shangri La Hotel’ a truly beautiful hotel of 5 star world class standard. Service was superb and the hotel décor and rooms were stunning. We stayed in the Garden Wing which has wonderful tropical views plus a private balcony. Rooms have all the luxuries you would expect including large flat screen TV and piped music. The bathroom has a large bath with separate shower area plus all rooms have tea and coffee facilities and a well-stocked mini bar. Décor in the rooms is beautiful, extremely comfortable and relaxing and even have the added touch of luxury with electric curtains at the touch of a button from your bedside table.

The hotel offers wonderful dining options from buffet to à la carte. There is the Waterfall Café for healthy dishes with a Mediterranean flavour or baristas for coffee lovers. Plus other exceptional dining options at award-winning restaurants ranging from; international cuisine at The Line, classic Cantonese cuisine at Shang Palace, authentic Japanese cuisine at Nadaman, high tea at The Rose Veranda and many more.

Singapore is buzzing with atmosphere and there are shops of all kinds from classy boutiques to large department stores through to market stalls with hosts of bargains. The city is easy to get around by taxi or on the SG railway throughout the whole of the city. There are plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes so you will never be short of a drink or a bite to eat.

Whilst in Singapore we took an evening trip to Clarkes Quay which is a historical riverside quay in Singapore, located within the Singapore River Planning Area. The area is full of life and has a wonderful atmosphere with plenty of bars, clubs, entertainment, cafes and places to eat al fresco! Plus it is all undercover so no matter what the weather you can still have a wonderful time. There is also a beautiful water feature in Clarkes Quay adding to the wonderful atmosphere.

Back to the airport for our Qantas flight back to Heathrow having enjoyed a wonderful trip in Australia and Singapore – please feel free to call if you are thinking of visiting either of these wonderful destinations
