This time last week I was 'shaking in my boots' .... no, that's not strictly correct, boots? in Singapore? More like I was 'shaking in my Fit Flops'!
..... and for those that know me, certainly know I have a phobia for heights.
Recently we were invited to go aboard the Singapore Flyer - the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel - and the invitation promised that we "were to be treated to an iconic Singapore Sling cocktail on-board an iconic attraction, accompanied by magnificent views of Singapore’s cityscape while comfortably hosted in a special themed capsule"
Now, in all honesty, how could we refuse such an invitation?
An all-time classic – the Singapore Sling is synonymous to Singapore and one of the nation’s best-known cocktails. Professionally managed by the Association of Bartenders & Sommeliers Singapore, and using only the most authentic recipe that was developed in 1915, guests on board will experience a hand-shaken and chilled bona fide Singapore Sling served only onboard Singapore Flyer...... and it was seriously delicious.

The invite was for us to promote the 1-for-1 Singapore Sling Flight that is available until December 31 and to tell all my lovely readers to go and enjoy the experience for themselves. Now, even though I am terrified of heights, hate walking over a bridge, have never, ever been on a Ferris Wheel let alone the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel, I did, yes, I braved the elements just for you!
For that alone you should thank me by going on the Flyer yourself and having the same wonderful experience of taking in the lovely city sights 165-metres above the skies.
Admittedly "the sling" helped me up and over the top!

We did get to see the wonderful sights of Singapore and it really was an exceptional experience from the moment we walked into the "Flyer Lounge area" where we were greeted by the staff explaining to us that our capsule - or pod - would be down in about 10 minutes. We had exclusive express boarding and check-in as all "Singapore Sling" flyers do and entered our VIP Themed Capsule from a different area to the 'normal flyers' ... so yes, it was a very special experience indeed and one that should not be missed.
