First full day in Singapore. My Actifit Report Card: April 26 2025

Now after all the things I've done on the vacation so far I just wanted to stay in the hotel and do nothing.

My wife had other ideas....

So get itinerary was: Botanical gardens, little India, Chinatown and the waterdance at Marina Bay. And commuting via the MRT.

So first up was getting a tourist 3 day pass which meant walking to Chinatown station.

Actually the stations are quite intuitive and I was very impressed. When I found out every station also had a public washroom I was very happy. Now I knew there were plenty of washroom to use if necessary.

First so the Botanical gardens.

They are a UNESCO so it wasn't surprising that they were beautiful.

Even had some wildlife there too. I didn't take a picture of the monkey but if did get these guys.

Free range chicken and iguana.

Unfortunately we got hit with heavy rain (see the first picture) so while I was pretty curious to see the orchid garden

For $30 per person to see flowers in the rain? No thank you. Or how about an umbrella from the gift shop?

Only $35.90...

Another hard pass. But it was past lunch so we decided it was time for little India.

Had some really good but very spicy Indian food and who would guess that it had a Michelin rating for $6 ? Pretty impressed there. As for the rest of little India? It was a bit overwhelming but kind of cool.

Back to the hotel then off to Chinatown.

Big mall

Had Coca just for me

And a very authentic Chinese grocery.

Without labels in English it was pretty hard to figure out what was what but overall it was cool.

Then it was off to the harbor view for the water dance. Except I got the place wrong it was Marina Bay so we missed the earlier presentation.

That mall was gigantic and everything there was designer and prices were astronomical.

Sure it was pretty but no thank you on those kinds of items for me.

Finally we made it to the bar which was really bright and glittery

But the water dance with music was really something to behold. I'm really glad I got to see it.

Not really possible to do it justice with an image as the dancing lights, water and holograms in the mist were really something.

But I enjoyed it and that's my day.

Unfortunately Actifit wasn't on for big portions of the day but even so I still managed to hit my step count.

And that's it until tomorrow
