Today was a beach day. Sentosa Island, which is a big island resort just off the Southern coast of Singapore. It’s a big tourist attraction in Singapore as well as being the best place to go and sunbath - the island has 2 kilometers of beach, which is a lot in Singapore. There are cable cars that leave for Sentosa over on the mainland, and as we decided to play ‘tourist’ for the day, we forked over a ridiculous $20 for a return ticket. It was worth it, as you could see all across the bay area as well as into the mainland.
The island is home to a 37 meter tall Merillion statue as well as an old WWII fort. We didn’t bother with the fort since we were going to the beach but did pass by the Merillion and take a few pictures. The beach was really cool and it didn’t take long for me to change my mind about taking a swim. It’s quite an experience to float about in the sea as hundreds of freighters are docked just a couple of hundred meters away by the nearby port, which is the world’s busiest by the way.
We took in some ‘rays for several hours before leaving by cable car and making our way back to the apartment. Today was mainly dedicated to just chilling and showing Olli & Kosti around town, as they’d arrived on Friday from Bangkok. We also had plans for the next day so we decided a few beers and a late night dinner would suffice for the evening’s activities.
