We alloted our third day in Singapore to visit Sentosa Island, which is half a kilometre away from the southern coast of the main island. To get there, we first made a stop at Vivo City, one of the gazillion malls in Singapore. We took a quick bite at the mall's Food Republic.
Connected to Vivo City is the Sentosa Express, the special train to Sentosa Island. When we got to Sentosa, I saw their version of the Merlion and this weird-looking guy.
There was a flower festival in Sentosa Island. Their exhibits were brilliant!
We got up the Tiger Sky Tower, which is said to be Singapore's tallest observatory.
These were taken outside the Singapore Museum.
We enjoyed the downhill Luge ride so much. It was very exciting! Then we took the Skyride, which is similar to the ski lifts in ski resorts.
In Sentosa, we also visited the Dolphin Lagoon, which is the home of the pink dolphins.
Then we went to Underwater World, an oceanarium with over 2500 species.
Before sunset, we got to Palawan Beach, an artificial, reclaimed beach that uses the sands from Indonesia and Malaysia. I was so scared to cross the hanging bridge because the Indians were jumping and making it so shaky.
At night, we headed to the Siloso Beach area in Sentosa to watch the musical show, Songs of the Sea. According to the Asians Attractions Awards, it is the world’s first permanent show set in the sea, featuring dramatic special effects, engaging music, pyrotechnics and a live cast creatively weaved into a magical tale.
This is Sentosa Island still alive and kicking at night.
After a long, adventure-filled day in Sentosa, we took the Sentosa Express Train back to Vivo City. We then had dinner at the Swiss restaurant Marche. Upon entering the restaurant, we were each given a card, which we will use every time we order something in the restaurant-cum-market. It stored our bill temporarily. Such a cool concept!
I loved the whole self-service idea and the fact that all the food is laid out in the open so it is easier to decide which one to order.
