Our final stop of our trip, and indeed for the day was to the resort of Sentosa Island. To reach the island, we had to take a cable car located at the top of Mt. Faber, across the bay, then go through a building, go across the bay again and then down to the island. The view from the cable car was stunning, plus the cable cars bounced around that it almost felt like a ride in an amusement park.
Once at Sentosa, we headed directly to one of the best Sentosa, Singapore hotels where we had reservations and checked in, but before we got there, we were greeted by this massive Merlion statue, apparently it’s the emblem of Singapore. It was huge, towering over us like a snake mountain, we were in awe with all the neon lighting and LEDs brilliantly shining forth. Truly skating on the line of tackiness and wonderment. We wondered if the rest of Sentosa was bordering on that same knife’s edge. After we checked into our hotel, we headed out to the main Boulevard where there were fountains and sculptures, and these too were all lit with an astounding array of incandescent sparkles of luminosity. Frankly, I found it marvelous and great fun.
When we reached the end of the Boulevard, we found several pubs, which we took full liberty to stretch out on the beach with some ice cold lagers. If was our reward for a hard day at playing tourist. We chatted and relaxed before we checked out this audio-visual spectacular show called ‘The Song of the Sea.’ At least that’s what we were told. But, really, the show was, well, lame. The actors mimed the soap-opera story and the songs were pretty hard to listen to, but the lasers projecting into the water was great! This laser projection led into a 3D hologramatic effect, which was totally thrilling and entertaining, very nicely constructed. We pretty much figured the ‘Song of the Sea’ must be for children.
This was our final event in all of Singapore. The next day we headed back over to Singapore and to the airport, tired, but happy.
