  • Marina Bay Sands hotel, Singapore

    Exploring the Museum of Toys, Singapore – A Must Visit for Toy Lovers

    We were up shortly after 7.00 a.m. so that we could make the most of our final day in Singapore.  Breakfast in the hotel’s Crystal Cafe had been good all week and it ended on a high with my favourite roti prata and bread and butter pudding both being included in the morning’s selection.  Reluctantly…

  • Sentosa suspension bridge, Singapore

    The Ultimate Guide to a Day at Sentosa, Singapore

    We made an early start to the day as it was our intention to travel over to Sentosa Island before it started getting busy. After our breakfast in the hotel’s Crystal Cafe we took the MRT to HarbourFront station and then followed signs for the Sentosa boardwalk. Visitors to the island can reach Sentosa by…

  • MacRitchie Trail suspension bridge, Singapore

    Guide to Walking the MacRitchie Trail, Singapore – Tips, Routes, and Highlights

    I helped myself to some nasi goreng at breakfast but the hotel’s version was made with salted fish which had a distinctive strong flavour which didn’t appeal so I moved on to some curry puffs and french toast that was more to my liking. Breakfast over, we picked up some bottles of water and headed…

  • Singapore Cable Car to Mt. Faber and Sentosa

    Mt. Faber Cable Car and Henderson Waves Walk – Singapore’s Scenic Adventure

    After spending the previous day on the tranquil and unspoilt island of Pulau Ubin, it was a change of scene with a visit to Sentosa, dubbed the island of fun!  From our hotel we took the MRT from Somerset on the North East line over to HarbourFront station as the Singapore Cable Car runs from…

  • Pulau Ubin entrance arch, Singapore

    A Day in Pulau Ubin, Singapore – How to Get There and What to Expect

    At breakfast this morning along with my usual yoghurt and fruit I sampled some fried carrot cake.  This tasted quite good but I’m unsure how it gets its name as it is neither a cake nor does it contain carrots!  It bears no resemblance to the sweet carrot cake popular in the west but is…

  • The Fullerton Hotel, Singapore

    Why You Should Take The Fullerton Heritage Tour, Singapore

    After a leisurely breakfast in the hotel’s Crystal Cafe where we were tempted into sampling many Asian delicacies, we took the MTR to City Hall station.  Just outside the metro station stands the anglican St. Andrew’s Cathedral so we started our day there as we were slightly early for our planned activity. The cathedral was…

  • Supertree Grove, Singapore

    Exploring Kampong Glam, Little India, and Supertree Grove – Singapore’s Cultural and Iconic Sights

    After a good night’s sleep, we were interested to find out what breakfast would be like.  Although the Orchard Grand Court is a serviced apartment, it also offers guests the option of an inclusive breakfast in its Crystal Cafe.  Unlike the apartments which have a contemporary feel, the Crystal Cafe is a traditionally furnished restaurant…

  • Clarke Quay, Singapore

    Flying AirAsia from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore and getting from Changi Airport by public transport

    It was our final morning in Kuala Lumpur and we started the day with a relaxing breakfast.  We then returned to our room to finish off our packing before checking out of the hotel. The lifts were still out of order at the nearby monorail station so once again we had to manoeuvre our heavy…
