Day Two - Sunday 10th April

Another early start - we had a 6.15am flight out of KL to Singapore.  I can't believe that the sun did not rise until we were midway into our flight.  It was a very quick flight, all of 40 minutes and we left 15 minutes before scheduled time out of KL.  There were only about 50 people on-board the flight - an extremely empty flight!

Once again we breezed through Customs and Immigration.  What a beautifully clean airport at Singapore, so very different from the Low Cost airport at KL. We waited approx 5 minutes for our Marina Bay Sands shuttle bus to take us to our hotel.  The drive to the hotel was lovely - tree lined highway just so beautiful, tropical and clean.  The bus driver also played a short video showing us a description and the making of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel which was very interesting.  The hotel is quite new and only opened last June.  It consists of 3 towers and has an infinity pool as the top floor - simply amazing!

Our room was not quite ready when we arrived at 8am but we were able to go up to the Club Room  on level 57 (same level as the Pool) and partake in breakfast.  We filled our tummies with delights from the buffet and then decided to collect our tickets for "The Lion King" musical that we are booked in for at the hotel's theatre this evening.  We then returned to the hotel and headed for our room on the 39th floor.  The view from our room was breathtaking - we overlooked the whole city of Singapore.  We were so pleased that we had booked a club room for the view, the breakfasts, the afternoon tea and the evening cocktails.  Our room was very luxurious, the marble bathroom was huge and the boys loved the big screen tv! It will be hard to move out of this hotel tomorrow!

After a minimal amount of unpacking we decided to head downstairs to check out the shopping stores within the hotel.  We purchased a vibrating head massager which is divine to use.  It was then time to have some relaxing time around the pool and at 2pm to have afternoon tea in the Club Room.  After the swim Allie's eyes needed a cucmber cooling and you will see the result n the picture.We loved the afternoon tea - tiny little sandwiches, mini mini chicken croissants, 5 different types of scones, chessecake "lollipops", all kinds of berries, mini tarts and cakes, homemade cookies - so many varieties.  Oh yes, the coffee is lovely also.  We waddled back to our room to relax.

The boys wanted to watch the Malaysian Grand Prix and I decided to have a spa bath before heading off for cocktails at 5pm and then later to see "the Lion King".  No time for dinner tonight but I'm sure the canapes fill us completely!
