"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

(Day #67) Singapore

When we have been to other ports the quarantine regulations were:  Do not remove from the ship fresh fruit, vegetables, meats, prepared meals, dairy products, other consumable food item, flowers, seed or plants,

 

Here in Singapore the regulations prohibits the following to be brought ashore: chewing gum, tobacco or imitation tobacco products, pistol or revolver shaped cigarette lighters, controlled drugs or psychotropic substances, endangered species and their by-products, firecrackers, obscene articles or videos, and reproductions of copyrighted materials.  Singapore’s rules are tough.  Jaywalkers are fined on the spot.  Drop litter and you pay a fine.  If convicted of drug trafficker can expect a death sentence.

 

I just thought this was interesting.

We took a cab to a spot where we could catch the Hop On and Hop Off bus.  The bus company had three different routes.  The first one we took was to see some of the buildings in Singapore.

This is called the Merlion.  We could see this from our veranda.

After the first bus tour, we got off and had lunch.  Then we went on the Singapore Flyer.
