Singapore Flyer... A great way to "Fly"

It has been more than 3 months since I bought the tickets to the Singapore Flyer and finally we were there. We have some time after BIL's ROM to spare before James has to rush off to catch his flight to BKK.

Shuttle bus to Singapore Flyer. Schedule.




We need to validate our "open" tickets at the ticketing counter




First check point.




Second check point - wanna take a photo?




Our capsule


Plenty of time for you to hop on to the capsule


And off we go...


The next 30 mins was actually rather boring. You get to listen to some music throughout the ride and be "interrupted" only 3 times - to welcome u when u first step into the capsule, when u are at the top of the island and when u are about to disembark.

Born and raised in Singapore, I had problem identifying some of the buildings and places, I wonder how the tourists are enjoying it.

I think it is best to ride the Singapore Flyer during sunset.
