    Visiting Singapore Zoo

    We woke to light rain, but as the breakfast terrace was covered we were still able to eat outside.   We decided to visit the Zoo today so we had a lengthy metro and bus journey to get there.  The journey was easy as we took the MRT from Clarke Quay to Ang Mo Kio and…

  • Qatar Airways Business Class

    Upgrade on Qatar Airways Singapore to Manchester

    Checking in at the Qatar Airways desk of Terminal 3 was very quick, so we had plenty of time to explore the terminal building.  Our first stop was to the Changi Butterfly Park on the upper floor which was a haven of tranquillity in the midst of an international airport and certainly worth a visit.
