Jahor Bahru and Singapore

After our time in Melaka, we jumped on yet another bus to Jahor Bahru, Malaysia. This was the shortest of our bus rides. Here we are at the bus terminal, waiting for our ride.

The ride from Melaka to Jahor Bahru was beautiful.  Lots of green lushness to see!

Once we arrived in Jahor Bahru, we had to walk a little to our hotel.  That was only interesting because some sidewalks were closed down due to construction.  So we ended up walking on at least one street keeping an eye open for cars.  After we arrived safely at our hotel though, we were pleasantly surprised that due to our membership status that we were upgraded to the club level. Our room had a lovely view of Jahor Bahru and Singapore.  It also had a great view of the roof top pool!

The view from our hotel room. Singapore is across the river in the next 2 photos. 

Jahor Bahru is closest to the camera.

Another perk of a club room level room is the treats they give you for free.  In our case that was dragon fruit!  It was super sweet and juicy!

Both boys enjoyed the button controlled sliding screen that separated the bathroom from the bedroom!

Had to enjoy some time on the roof top deck!

After a good nights rest, we headed out the next day via bus to Singapore. 

Here we arrived at the Singapore bus terminal which was super busy!

At the bus terminal, Oliver decided that he needed to use the restroom.  We were pleasantly surprised to find these child friendly toilets!  It was almost comical how cute these little toilets were!

Finally we made it to the iconic area of Singapore! 

We spent the majority of our time down here in the Bayfront area.

The boys enjoyed some unique play structures.  This one was made of rubber bands and ropes.

Any trip to Singapore wouldn't be complete without a Merlion sighting!

Standing under Marina Bay Sands.  An amazing hotel with a rooftop deck shaped like a surfboard. 

Although this was taken at the Merlion, you can see Marina Bay Sands and the Art/Science museum in the background.

There were many things to see and do along the boardwalk.

There were all these artistic sculptures that were interactive.  This one was about hearing yourself.

There was also a nighttime laser show on planets and energy conservation.  

Behind Carson is a large inflated moon!

After spending the day in Singapore, we found a mall and ate some dinner then took the train to the airport for our midnight flight to the Philippines. At the airport we found this moving lighted sculpture of rain drops.  This was fascinating and a place we could have sat all day!
