Singapore

Singapore was a two day stay for the ship but because we didn’t return to the ship from China until midnight of the first day in Singapore, we only had one day to see Singapore.  Our visits in Singapore included the Peranakan Museum, a museum that nicely describes the mixed race Peranakan or China Straits people of Singapore, their customs and culture.

 

We had a bit of fun seeing the city from 500 plus feet in the air on the Singapore Flyer, the largest ferris wheel in the world, 90 feet taller than, the London Eye. Also, we had a drive through the city seeing the various sites.  We returned to the ship after our morning tour and then left the ship again to explore the city more via a cable car high above the city.

Noteworthy were our experiences getting on and off the ship in Singapore.  To put it bluntly,  an incredible amount of security coming and going from and to the ship.
