48hrs in Singapore

We have 48 hours in Singapore on our way to New Zealand. Can anyone
suggest how we can prioritise what we see and visit. We will be there
end of July and I gather it will be quite warm!

The temperature is about the same all year round (but it is nice and warm).

For me anyway, the main delight of a visit to Singapore is eating. But what
are you interested in? Shopping? Museums? Activities?

Night Safari at the zoo, botanical garden, Singapore sling at the Long Bar,
a couple of hawkers centers at night.

I wouldn't bother with the Sling at the Long Bar. Extremely over-priced and
just not that tasty.

While the Long Bar was interesting, it wasn't all that. I've actually been
in a few bars at home that weren't much different, except for the fans.

It was also quite warm in there and in July it should be quite a bit worse
in that regard..

One does not do that for the price or the taste. It's the experience.

It's been years since I was there, but at the time I was horrified to
see the bartender use tinned pineapple juice.

Singapore is 1 degree north of the equator. July temperatures are about in
the middle of the annual average, which doesn't vary by more than 4 degrees
from the "coldest" month to the warmest.

Quite so, which was why I did it. Now I know that it is an experience I
could have omitted, particularly had I only 48 hours to savor Singapore.

It is always warm in Singapore. In addition to what others have said, don't
miss the Birdpark in Jurong. Very, very nice!

Singapore and a cocktail, The Equinox at the Swissotel The Stamford.
