Singapore

Singapore is one of my favorite ports.  I had a whole day to explore.  They have a tourist transportation pass that allows you to take any subway, bus or train anywhere in Singapore for the day and the cost is $8.00 which is about $7.50 US$.  I was drawn to the boat hotel as I had never been there before.

Huge amount of ships coming into Singapore

Hong Kong

I woke up for the sail in.  It was 6AM and already 75 degrees.  We docked on the Mainland side with a spectacular view of the island skyline.  I walked the almost the whole length of Nathan Road which is the main shopping street.  I had a bit of heatstroke and did not get out much on the evening of our first day and stayed on board for our second day.  The smog was very bad on the second day.
