The Duck Tour

Last weekend, we had our first Duck Tour.  Singapore Duck Tour has been around for many years so it is a little ashamed that we were experiencing this first time.  The duck tour uses a World War II amphibian vehicle, a military vehicle that can drive on the road and cruise in the water.  When my elder brother was in the Singapore Army (30 years ago), he was one of the fortunate one to pilot such vehicle.  

Coming back to the duct tour, it is about an hour long with about 40mins in the water and the other 20mins on dry lands.  The route introduces Marina Bay building including The Singapore Flyers, The Floating Platform (for National Day Parade or other event), The Esplanade – Theater by the Bay (local call it The Durian), The Merlion, The Marina Bay Sand casino, and the upcoming Botanic Garden by the Bay and of course the Civic District.  Not going to talk too much on this, you would be able to more information if you do a Google search for Singapore Duck tour.

Overall experiences was great and I do pick up a few history about Singapore even though I am a Singaporean. Enjoy the pictures

The Helix @ Marina Bay

The helix bridge located at Marina Bay was open to public on the 24th April. This is one of the key feature at the Marina Bay so I thought why not join the crowd and visit the bridge on the day of opening.

We reached The Helix at about 9:20pm so we missed the firework but it was still crowded at that time. With the crowd, it was not easy to take pictures, also the bridge is a little shaky when people moved and that made it worst for night shooting.
