Today was the day that Terry and I headed out to experience the Singapore Flyer. It is the world’s largest observation wheel - 165 metres from the ground. This makes it the tallest ferris wheel in the world - according to the tour brochures 5 m (16 ft) taller than the
Star of Nanchang and 30 m (98 ft) taller than the
London Eye.

| Waiting to get on |
 |
| It's hard to see, but those are all freighters on anchor. English Bay has maybe 10 freighters on anchor at any one time. |
 |
| Garden by the Bay from the Singapore Flyer - this all sits on re-claimed land. |
 |
| Terry and the view from almost the top - looking out over the Central Business District of Singapore |
 |
| More ships in the distance - out towards Changi International Airport |
 |
| Marina Sands Hotel - there are 3 towers with a boat structure on top. There is an infinity pool on the top along with gardens and of course a bar. |
 |
| Looking down from the top of the Flyer |
 |
| High rises of Singapore - there is a stadium on the water in the fore ground. |

Amazing views, and best of all it's 30 minutes of air conditioning.
Thanks for stopping by.
