Time was approaching to land at the airport in Singapore, and what caught my attention before landing, was the large number of boats moored along the bay of the city, waiting to enter the port.
We landed in the city state and THROUGH the finger, we went to the same aisle. Exit doors on both sides, all carpeted, with a moving walkway in the center to deplazarse more speed, and foot massage chairs to the sides free.
In the hall, there is a counter on the 1st control, with some more than largar queues. In the city-state are taken very seriously and that those who enter. After a half hour wait, we got passed over, it was time to find the means of transport to take us to the city.
Got along the lesson learned jamss and knew the quickest way to do it was underground. To them, we were in T2, we had to take the monorail to T1 and from there the subway. All perfectly suited, that is amazing, hard to miss, we got to the airport subway.
The only way to get the ticket is through a vending machine, more like a computer. These have a touch screen where you can see the metro map with their stations. The mechanism can not be more simple: You select your language, select your stop, select the number of tickets and pay. To pay, the machine does not change over 6 dolaresSP also charges you a deposit of SG $ 1 for each ticket. Why?, Simple. Tickets are a plastic green cards with an NFC chip inside that activate featuring contact gates, to prevent stolen or carried as souvenirs, we charge a deposit which is refunded when the card is returned in a machine Vending on arrival.
We arrived at the center of the city with our backpacks, I still remember the smell of freshly made cakes when we left the subway, a situation that made us turn around and buy a few for some breakfast.
To kill time, we decided, shoulder bags, go to the Merlion Park, make a few pictures and spend time. The heat and humidity jamss were doing insorportables, that, coupled with wearing almost a day without sleep, I was going to permeate slowly.
The Merlion was crowded with people, mostly Hindus, so we made the 4 photos of rigor and backtracked to a park near the center where my body said enough. There, nestled in the shade of a tree, dripping with sweat, I decided to go to the hotel was 12 hours, and try to check-in. jamss So we did, we got to the hotel, two stops later and I note trouble climbing into the room. It was time for a nice cold shower and rest until evening.
The hotel booked jamss was the V Lavender in Lavender Metro Station. A large hotel, pretty plants, centrally located, two stops from the center of Singapore and 15 minutes walk from Little India. Our room, overlooking the pool, was average, bed, desk, wardrobe, LCD TV and comfortable bathroom with a good shower. It was a very bright, with a defect, there was no light switch near the bed, all in front, which put out the light from the bed, impossible. We hire the wifi in the room, 1th $ SG / day, and I have to say that speed was incredibly fast.
I slept like a log until 18 hours, when we set out to explore the city on foot. To this end, we were drawing near Little India, we walked to the Indian neighborhood. At first a little confused, had some maps in my phone memory, but in the end I opted for the easy, GPS and Google Maps and see the world.
We arrived at the Indian Quarter jamss and every step we entered we gave seemed that, increasingly, in India. Restaurants, stores, appliances, tens of Hindus massed jamss at the gates of the tents watching the deals.
We reached the temple of Sri Marianma, where did the obligatory pictures. We did not go, because there was a ceremony inside and we were not the work to leave our shoes on the sidewalk and hitting among Hindus.
In Little India we walked to the center, Clarke Bay area, which we already dark. This is an entertainment area, full of terraces to dine. They decided to sit in for a beer and something to eat. We chose a kind of Mexican cantina where we ate something.
After dinner and a few beers, we went to walk Explanade. There, an exhibition of sculptures of light and an outdoor concert was that we spend the time flying. Contemplating the majesty of Singapore SkyLine night, decided to go back to the hotel, about 24 hours to finally rest soundly.
We started early, down to the second floor of the hotel to develop
