Thanks to Bunc Hostel, we were given 4 free tickets to the Singapore River Cruise. It was our first time taking the 40 minutes water taxi ride and we enjoyed the journey while snapping pictures like tourists.
Our Free Tickets!
There's ample space on board and we grabbed the window seats.
Initially we thought it was a bad idea to take the ride on a hot afternoon. We definitely do not want to be exposed and be victims of being roasted by the scorching sun! On the contrary, we enjoyed the breeze for the entire ride. For a moment, Hubby even dozed off because it was so comfortable!
We had a closer view to the thousands of wishing spheres floating on the waters.
We stuck our heads out and let the boat took us on a cruise filled with rich Singapore History.
The Fullerton Hotel
Along Singapore River
I love the rows of shop houses along the water banks. It's a lovely combination of the historic view within the modern city.
Clarke Quay - Central
I called it "the spaceship capsule" which is a prominent, colourful icon near Novotel.
Clarke Quay
Father & daughter time - having fun and totally oblivious to others.
We may be familiar with the surroundings but it's an entire different feeling as we cruised down the memory lane. Memories flashes back on my mind and I just can't help feeling amazed how our homeland has developed and changed over the years.
Maybe Denver and Gladys will have a different experience when they cruise down the Singapore River with their family twenty years later.

We took the ride in end December near the Merlion Park. There isn't any crowd at all. I guess if you like the night scenery, night ride will be nice too. Avoid going in the afternoon as I feel it may be too hot.
We love to be tourists in Little Singapore too !

I think many Singaporeans feel that cruising the river is more for tourists. It can actually be a educational ride for our children to learn about the history of Singapore too. :) Denver and Gladys enjoyed the ride. ^_^
