Singapore Duck Tour

 

 
The journey starts off at Suntec City, home of the worlds largest fountain, the fountain of wealth. This wasn't the only water we would see today.....

The Duckie is actually an amphibious vehicle from the military, now resigned to doing battle only with tourists. All are named, ours was "Orleans"

   

Just like their feathered namesakes, Duckies can swim !

   

Very little traffic to disturb you on the water, as you chug under the busy roads of Singapore on your way to Marina Bay

 

Leaving land behind

 

Duckies are officially classed as boats, so they carry the correct flags for a Singapore registered vessel

Into Marina Bay, and the Duckies do battle with the other tourist transport in the area, the bumboat.  

The Merlion, looking good after its recent refurbishment and move to the other side of Esplanade Bridge

The Esplanade (a.k.a. The Durians) is now a familiar part of the Singapore skyline
After our bath, the Duckie dried out with a tour of the Civic District, here passing City Hall.
