Today deardear took leave to company me as it was my bday yesterday... Decided to bring baby Caden on a Ducktour.. Deardear found out that there is this 2 in 1 package that includes the Ducktour and Hippo Cruise. So we decided to go for it. Deardear went to pick Chloe up at 1pm and we arrived at Suntec at 1.35pm to collect our boarding pass for Ducktour and voucher for Hippo Cruise. At 1.55pm, we had the safety briefing at the counter and then were led outside to wait for our 'duck'. Our Duck is by the name of Katrina as it survived the hurricane Katrina in 2004.

After boarding the Duck, the tour guide intro to us about the places around Marina. Our Duck went into the water 5 min later. Lucky it was a windy day, we enjoyed ourselves during the ride. We learnt a few things during the Ducktour like the side of Marina Mandarin Hotel looks like an elephant, the baigua window of Ritz Carlton Hotel is transparent at night when lights are switched on from the inside, there is the mama Merlion and baby Merlion at the one fullerton and papa Merlion is at Sentosa, the Singapore Flyer is 165m high whereas London Eye is only 135m high though their circumference is the same as it has a 30m of shopping complex built beneath the Singapore Flyer.

After the Ducktour, we took a complimentary Hippo bus to Clarke Quay to take the Hippo Cruise. Its another very enjoyable and cooling cruise. Learnt a few things too like Fullerton Hotel was a post office then hospital then finally hotel and it is good for its chocolate buffet, Anderson Bridge is the only bridge across the Singapore River that is lighted up at night due to many haunting stories as during Jap Occupation, many heads of the spies were hung around the bridge and filled it up.. Gosh.. it sounded so creepy.. When the boat went under the bridge, it felt eerie too.. haha..

Deardear and my dating place...
After the cruise, we headed to Liang Court for some tea break at Mac. Then we walked around Meiya Supermarket and bought some biscuits for Chloe and baby Caden.
On our way back home...
Finally, we were home at 5.30pm and baby Caden and deardear was exhausted. Deardear and I immediately clean him up and Tita put him to bed for a nap.
Its an enjoyable day.. Looking forward to more of such family outing.. But of course minus the bodyache that deardear was suffering... :)
