During my return trip to Diego Garcia my flight out of Singapore was canceled. I can’t say that I was particularly disappointed as this resulted in me having 2 days to play around and go see some of the attractions I hadn't previously gotten around to seeing. The first place I decided to visit was Merlion Park at which one of Singapore's most well known Icons resides. It is of course the Merlion that sits at the mouth of the river opening into the bay. I walked around the park area as well as some of the surrounding city enjoying the scenes and had lunch at one of the outside venders. After lunch I took one of the Singapore cruise boats up the river for a tour. Later after the tour I took a taxi to Little India and spent the rest of the afternoon going from shop to shop. That being all I had planed to do for that day I retired early back to the hotel for diner and an evening of relaxing in my room.
