Day Five - The River Boat Tour
Carrying on the bus tour theme, we ventured on the city tour today, taking in down town Singapore and the northern leafy (rain forest) areas. We passed through Clarke Quay, a rather busy area of the waterfront, which we noted as a place to return back to in the evening.

The Clarke Quay area is like a grown up temple bar area, with upmarket bars and restaurants lining both sides of the river. Some of the inner streets had umbrellas covering them high above the rooftops making the streets below rain proof. Truly beautiful.

After some grocery shopping in the local cold storage (the Dunnes Stores of Singapore) we headed back to the apartment to wash our clothes in preparation for our 4 day trip to Kuala Lumar tomorrow.
