After the wedding ceremony, we enjoyed seeing some more of Singapore. Due to the unusually persistent rain, we decided the Botanical Garden wouldn't be the best use of our time -- so we headed to the Asian Civilizations Museum before taking Singapore's efficient subway system to Orchard Road -- a famous shopping area. Of course we had to take a picture of the Fullerton Hotel on behalf of our good friends, the Fullertons.
After bits of shopping on Orchard Road, we found a bus that took us to the Singapore Flyer -- a huge ferris wheel that is somewhat like, but larger than the London Eye. Just as night was falling on the city, we enjoyed the 30 minute ride that takes you as high as a 42 story building.
It was a fun little trip to Singapore, but as always, it is nice to return to home, sweet home. In our absence, our kids managed to ride the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus, go up the big Malaysian ferris wheel (not quite as big as London or Singapore), visit the Bird Park, learn to play solitaire, and climb all 272 steps up to the Batu Caves. Wow!
