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.

  2. Just in case the text in the Merlion image is not quite clear it reads... Merlion is taking a shower.
