Settling into Singapore

Lisa and I have now been in Singapore for three days.

Luckily Lisa found out on Thursday that we are not required at the theatre until Monday. This has given us a chance to relax and do a little exploring.



The Grand Park Orchard



Layton and Lisa's Room





Our new hotel, as you can see is very comfortable, it has a pool and a gym and two nice restaurants to eat in. It is also right in the middle of a big shopping area, with lots of hawker style food courts and is very close to the train.

One of our trips took us down to Marina Bay, both to visit the theatre where Lion King will be playing and to see Singapore's most famous icon the Merlion.

Puzzle: How to get from the hotel to the theatre using the MRT

Another Puzzle Solved!

Here is the Marina Bay Sands Resort. The theatre is at the bottom of the left hand tower.

 How do you think that boat got all the way up there?

It is quite a long walk from the closest train station to the theatre, so after a brief stop for some food, we set off for the Merlion.

When we arrived I was pleased to see that the Merlion also has an apprentice.

Luke and Lisa have decided to pool their pocket

money together and purchase him a suitable hat.

I had a strange feeling the everything was not as is seemed. So it was with eyes open we approached the Merlion.

Oh!

We seem to have caught the Merlion at a delicate time. Come on Lisa, lets leave him too it.

We will return a bit later and introduce ourselves then.

Upon our return to the hotel I suggested we relax by the pool with a puzzle.

Here is the puzzle Lisa and I completed, see how you do with it.

The solution will be in my next post.

Travel Day

Good Morning

Lisa and I have arrived in Singapore, safe and sound. We had a long but enjoyable day.

It started early so Lisa could finish

her packing. Once that was done it

was time to go to the airport.

As the Laytonmobile is not equipped to

carry such large loads I suggested we

take Lisa's vehicle. As you can see

I took the passenger seat 

(as any good gentleman knows you

never drive someone else's vehicle)

Once we had checked in, it was time to say goodbye. Here I am at the International Departure Gates. 

After I had cleared customs and been searched for any weapons, there was time for a bit of duty free shopping

 

Duty Free Fun



Now for the plane trip!

It was a seven and a half hour trip, but we were kept well entertained and provided for for its duration, as you will see below.

Flight information on demand.

A selection of meals for dinner

Here I am getting ready to eat

Gosh it was good!

Now I think some tea to finish with .



and finally for a little nap. There is nothing like a nap to refresh your mind for the puzzles that lay ahead

So here I am being warmly welcomed to Singapore, lets hope its a good trip.



Packing for Singapore

Layton is off on a new adventure, and this time he has a new aprentice!

Layton and Lisa are off on Wednesday 12th January 2011 for 12 months in Singapore.

Layton is packed and ready so he has been lending a helping hand to Lisa, as all good gentlemen should!

It seems as though Lisa is trying to fit a little

too much into this suitcase.

Our first Puzzle is to come up with a way to

close the over full suitcase.

Success!
