Helix Bridge

A new bridge opened in Singapore. It links Marina Centre with Marina South. It is an amazing bridge with twisted steel. At night it lights up and is beautiful. It offers a great view of the Fullerton Hotel and the river.
Wayne is pretending to be looking at what the cardboard people ar seeing. it is a very clever advertising ploy.
As you can see the bridge is very different. There were many people,of all ages, walking on the bridge. Locals as well as tourists.
This is from the base looking through to the other end. There are viewing platforms for looking at the business district skyline. We wandered back across the bridge and then went off to have a cold drink - the temperature was in the mid thirties - so it was a very welcome cold drink.
The lights came on and the view was even more spectacular. Next time we will have to go back onto the viewing platform to take photos of the business skyline.
In the background is the Singapore Flyer.
