Singapore Diary 3: A trip down the Singapore river

Recently we went for a ride down the Singapore river. We first caught up with some of my friends staying at The Swissotel Stamford (http://www.swissotel.com/hotels/singapore-stamford/).
First a few snaps from the 63rd floor balcony of my friend's hotel room.



The green patch you can see at the corner of the below pic is that of Singapore Cricket Club (http://www.scc.org.sg/main/clubNews.html). Plan to make a trip to there too.

We started out river trip from near the Merlion Park. Unfortunately because of some renovation, the big Merlion was not functional on the day. 
So had satisfy with the baby Merlion.

A view of the Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Flyer line from across the Merlion Park.



A few snaps of the trip down the river. This is the link to Marina Bay Sands.

The following structure is that of the Singapore Art and Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands (http://www.marinabaysands.com/Singapore-Museum/)








This is the Fullerton Building, one of the colonial structures in Singapore. Currently this building is the seat of the Fullerton Hotel.

A small piece of art near the Fullerton Building.

This is the RiverWalk building, the seat of Ministry of Manpower.

The trip ends at Boat Quay - Clark Quay.
