Singapore Tales - hitech & smart city

Night Safari & Clarke Quay
We checked  into our hotel about 12 in the afternoon. Being a night flight we were tired and decided to rest. At 5:30 in the evening we started for the famous Singapore Night Safari. Upon reaching we were greeted by the spectacular fire show which lasted for about 10 minutes. We then walked towards the creatures of the night show which was a treat to watch. The show had some famous nocturnal animal who displayed their special capabilities. The show lasted for about 30 minutes.  It was finally time to take the tram for Night Safari. The ride took us through the forest and at each point we met with nocturnal animals including wide variety of pig species, lions, the endangered Malayan Tapir, giraffe amongst others. The safari lasted for 40 minutes. From here we took a drop to the famous Riverside clarke Quay nightlife area which was full of restaurants and pubs. We stationed at one of the Riverside restaurants which had live music. We also witnessed ice cream tricks at a road side parlour which was fun.

City tour, Flyer and Bugis Market
Second day started with a city tour. We went to the Marina Bay sands which has the Singapore mascot Merlion - head of a lion and body of a fish. You can do a river boat cruise on the Riverside of the Clarke quay area. There are famous bank buildings in this area and also the Marina sands hotel which has the world popular infinity pool at the roof top. After clicking a few pictures we proceeded to the Singapore flyer which is the second largest in the world after US which is two metres higher. It's s slow forty minutes ride that gives you a bird eye view of Singapore. Post this we went to the bugis street for some souvenir and apparel shopping.
It's better to take bus or cycle  to tour the country which are cheap and effective modes of transportation. The country is well connected by bus and metro network. You can use OFO app on your mobile phones to book a cycle ride which is available at every Juncture.
