Fun For Children At The Fabulous Fullerton Hotel, Singapore

They have several types of teddy bear and the cheapest is a modest S$20 - twenty Singapore dollars. Translation into pounds sterling at the current rates (Dec 6 2017) of 1.70 Singapore dollars to the pound, just type it into Google with your currency, about £11. 05. Frankly, for a character doll from a major hotel, I was expecting to have to pay more. They do have other teddies at higher prices, but if you are looking for a gift to take overseas, or for the child with you at the hotel, an instant huggable toy. 

At the entrance are two lifesize statues.

As you emerge from the hotel, you have a line of white fountains. 

Outside are some freestanding statues for a selfie.

Also look for the cake stand. I liked the rainbow cake and the Christmas tree made of chocolate coloured green.

The lights at the Fullerton hotel were just perfect. Green lights climbing up the trunks of the palm trees echoed the classical columns at the historic hotel.

What's free in Singapore?

This is the modern Fullerton Bay hotel just along from the historic Fullerton Hotel, Singapore.

Problem
Singapore, as they say, is a fine city, but expensive. So what is free?

Answer
The Fullerton Heritage Trail.

Take the MRT (railway) to Bayfront or City Hall. Walk around the Bay. Amuse yourself taking selfies.

Book a tour at either the Fullerton Bay Hotel or the Fullerton Hotel. As they have only one or two tours a day, come back another day to enjoy the free tour.

At a meeting of members of Toastmasters International Speakers' and leadership training clubs in Singapore, I met member of the Singapore Tourism Board. I asked her if there were any free tours of Singapore and she sent me the useful information about the tour.

The grand Fullerton Hotel overlooks the river and has four restaurants. It was constructed in 1928 and served as the General Post Office.
