We arrived in Singapore safe and sound after a very easy journey from Kuala Lumpur. The hostel we booked online opened the day we arrived so it was a bit chaotic but the people at reception were so helpful it didn't matter that not all the appliances/facilities were up and running. On our first night we met a couple of Kiwi guys, Aaron and Rory, and we went out for dinner and drinks with them which was alot of fun (lots of accent banter!) On our first day we checked out the markets around Bugis Street which used to be the red light district of Singapore but it's been revamped and is now a really nice shopping area! Said farewell to the guys who were flying off to Phuket and we arranged to catch up with them when we get to New Zealand.
After getting caught in the rain again we went down to Orchard Road to see all the shopping malls - shopping is a sport in Singapore! Sarah wasn't feeling too well so we had a relaxing afternoon at the hostel then got glammed up to go to Raffles Hotel. Obviously we weren't the kind of clientele they were looking for so we were only allowed in a little part of the hotel and we mostly just took photos outside. We can only dream of staying somewhere that fancy!
On our second day we decided to go back to nature and visited the Botanic Gardens which were really beautiful and very peaceful. Back at the hostel waiting to go and catch our flight to CAIRNS!!! So excited, speak to you all soon!
