Impressions of Singapore

summary

Wow. What can I say. My partner Lisa and I had never been to Singapore before last year when we stopped over on our way back to Australia after a couple of years living in Europe. Exciting, vibrant, a mix of old and new - and so much to do! Highlights for us were simply walking around the city taking it all in. Tourist spots - the pick for us were the Zoo and Jurong bird park, great fun. We will certainly visit again and would recommend it to anyone as a place to stay.
Beautiful day at Merlion Park
