Odyssey chartered a full size bus to deliver us from Melaka to the hotel in Singapore. We started promptly at ten and it was a long day to Singapore – arriving at about four thirty – about six-and-a-half hour. The bus took the way to go through the very quiet 2nd Link Causeway.
We had a full day in Singapore (two nights) and made full use of the time by engaging in our usual walk-a-thon. We walked the recommended tourist route of Singapore city, making detours when necessary.
Serangoon Road was very brightly lit up, as part of their celebration for Deepavali (Hindu's Festival of the Lights) which falls on 17th Sept 2009.
It was a beautiful site. One of the side streets was so busy with shoppers (for the festival) and tourists.
Needless to say, it was very colourful.
Here are few photos taken in Little India and Kampong Glam.

And here are some photos taken in the Raffles compound:
Here are other photos taken around the place:
