We took the red-eye to Singapore, so we arrived there around 6:30 am. Lucky for us, we were able to go ahead and check into our hotel when we got there about 8:30. We showered, changed clothes, and headed out to explore the area. Our first day, we spent the morning walking around Clarke Quay taking a riverboat tour along the river to get a better view of the skyline and historical sites. It was a great way to start our trip. We had lunch, an afternoon nap, a swim in the pool, then headed back out to Fort Canning Park which was walking distance from our hotel. It was beautiful with trails throughout. Fletcher's highlight was taking the Battle Box tour which took us back to the surrender of the British to Japan during WWII. We finished up our day taking in the Christmas lights on Orchard Street. That place is a shopper's dream with every store imaginable. We ended our first day with dinner there and headed back to the hotel to rest up for our next adventure.
