SINGAPORE DAY 3: MERLION PARK, MARINA BAY SANDS AND FOUNTAIN OF WEALTH

Thursday, October 20
Merlion Park, Marina Bay Sands and Fountain of Wealth

Our visit to Singapore would not be complete without taking a picture of the famous Merlion statue. Since it was already late afternoon, my mom just hailed a taxi to take us to Merlion Park. Our taxi driver was really nice and served as a tour guide as he pointed out places that we passed by.


When we arrived at the place, we were greeted with a wonderful view of the Esplanade Theater and Marina Bay Sands.

My mom and I were also able to have pictures together with the help of a fellow Filipina who offered to take our pictures. :)

After that, we decided to walk to Marina Bay Sands. However, we only reached Esplanade mall when our feet began to complain. So choosing comfort over saving money, we just rode a cab to Marina Bay Sands. We first strolled around the mall. There was still ongoing construction at some parts and only a few shops are open. We also had dinner at the foodcourt before going to the Skypark.

The Skypark is definitely worth the 20SGD ticket! Located at the 55th floor of the hotel, the view was really awesome as we were on such high ground. There was also a thrill factor, unlike in Singapore Flyer, that even my mom was a bit nervous to stand near the railings, hehe.

I’m sorry for the not so good quality of the pics as it is nighttime and my camera does not really take good night pics. Tripods are also not allowed in the area. :(

Guests at Marina Bay Sands are pretty lucky since they can swim at this awesome infinity pool!

Guests can also take a dip in these Jacuzzis.

The next stop is the Fountain of Wealth. Fortunately, we managed to go there before closing time.

It is said that in order for our wish to be granted, we had to go on a circle three times while touching the water. There was also great background music. :D

Since it was our last night in Singapore, we had to sleep early to prepare for our flight the next day.
