The secret tonic of creativity.
26. august 2023, Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C
We travel because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something inside our minds has changed, and that changes everything. –

Marina Bay❤️
25. august 2023 ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
The adventure begins with the pre-drive! As soon as we get out, we are greeted and our luggage is not only unloaded but also immediately brought to the room. We walk through the imposing hall to Tower 3, where our room will be located.
The room is "only" on the 7th floor but has a sensational view of the Garden by the Bay and the Supertrees. It is clear to us: we will enjoy the show again tonight: 1x from the room and 1x from the 57 from the pool 👍🏽. And to the pool we go also without detours. A dream come true!!!Les mer

Today program
25. august 2023, Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
We had a really great time together and understand each other almost blindly. What you can see and experience in a week, amazes me again and again.
Chun is hooked on traveling and we would love to continue traveling together. Our first destination would be Indonesia. But: Tomorrow is our last day in Singapore, in the evening our flight goes via Bangkok to Zurich. And unfortunately, we haven't won the lottery yet.

Luckily we know that in about 114 days we are allowed to go to Thailand for 5 weeks. That makes it a little bit better.

Remember: the 1st and last hotel of a trip is always a very good one.
As a frequent traveler, I now have VIP status on various booking platforms and get the hotels cheaper.

So we do it! We stay tonight at the Marina Bay!
At 11 am we have to check out at the hmlet. And check in at 3pm at the Marina Bay.

I booked myself a beauty morning and go for a manicure and pedicure after checking out. Even if Singapore is expensive, it is still much cheaper than in Switzerland. And somehow you want to look civilized when you enter the Marina!
In the past few days, we have walked about 15,000 steps per day.
Today we won't do much except enjoy the special place.Les mer

Vietnam day with Thais!
24. august 2023, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
We have arranged to meet Chuni's family in Singapore once again for dinner at a neighborhood that is just opening. The quarter has been completely renovated. Unlike in Switzerland, this is not done house by house. But the quarter is completely closed, renovated and then reopened. Impressive!

I have my Vietnam day today! At least as far as the food is concerned Vietnamese lunch and now Vietnamese dinner.
Chun finds my love for Vietnamese food only conditionally good🤪 but I enjoy it! So many memories!

Bun cha and oysters au gratin. Simply delicious! Also in Singapoure!

I'm going to miss it. The food corner. Here you can find food from all over the world. China, Vietnam, India, Thai, Japan, Korea, USA, Europe and much more. For little money. In Switzerland, I wouldn't even get a sandwich for that.Les mer

Singapore: Hotel recommendation
24. august 2023, Singapore ⋅ 🌩️ 31 °C
Looking for an affordable hotel in Singapore? We have that too! If you take a look at the hotel prices in Singapore, you will quickly realize: it's damn expensive here.
We found our boutique hotel in Singapore via AirBnB a few months ago and can only recommend it.
It has a great location, offers many amenities like workstations, gyms, several kitchens where you can cook, good coffee machines (free coffee, tea and water), ice machine, refrigerator, self-service snacks, food and drinks, pool and various gardens.
And free wifi.

All major bus and metro stations are just minutes away. Also shopping and dining facilities. It is very quiet here and the staff is extremely nice.

It is very well kept, clean and very cheap. It costs around CHF 100 per night which is a bargain for Singapore. We find the price-performance ratio more than good.

The rooms are rather small, which does not bother us. There is a save, hair dryer, shower soap, shampoo, conditioner etc., and tv with Netflix. We are only here to sleep. The bathroom is super clean, stylish and has everything it needs.Les mer

Gardens by the bay
23. august 2023, Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
The Gardens by the Bay are one of the most popular tourist attractions in all of Singapore. This is mainly due to the huge Supertrees. "Trees" that are made of steel tubes, overgrown with plants, and have thousands of lights on the outside.

Already during the day, we liked the Supertrees very much, especially because of their extreme size. But when it gets dark, it really gets going. Then the artificial trees suddenly start to glow in different colors like a spaceship.

It seemed to us as if we had landed in another world. It looks completely unreal and at the same time just beautiful. For us personally the most intense Singapore at night - highlight.

Opening Hours & Prices: There is no entrance fee for the Gardens by the Bay. You can see the Supertrees completely free of charge. It is open until 2 o'clock at night. So enough time to enjoy the shining trees extensively.Les mer

Little India
23. august 2023, Singapore ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Little India today is one of Singapore’s most vibrant districts, with a fascinating past that stretches back to the 19th century.

Serangoon Road —the historic heart of the district— was once called Soonambu Kamban (Village of Lime in Tamil) for its lime pits. Over the decades, the district evolved into an area of commerce, with rattan works, wheat-grinding sheds and pineapple factories emerging alongside cattle trade.

As you walk through this bustling neighbourhood, you’ll find places of worship with beautiful architecture and interiors, from the Corinthian pillars of the Abdul Gafoor Mosque to the fifteen-metre-tall Buddha statue in the Temple of a Thousand Lights.Les mer

Bintan: Lagoi Beach
22. august 2023, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Lagoi Beach is located in the subdistrict at the northern tip of Bintan Island. Its majestic beach view rivals that of the ones in Bali or Lombok with an unblocked view of the horizon from which one can admire the rising and setting of the sun. Tourists can enjoy outdoor activities such as sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling, diving or simply walking along the coastline.

Lagoi Beach is also a short walk away from Plaza Lagoi so guests may swing by the many dining establishments there serving local delicacies such as seafood and traditional Indonesian cuisine.Les mer

Bintan: Magroven
22. august 2023, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
The mangroves play host to a variety of exotic wildlife. Some of the shy wildlife includes the macaque and silver leaf monkeys, monitor lizards and mangrove snakes. If you are lucky enough, you will be able to see snakes sleeping in the branches right above you and even monkeys swinging through the trees. Marine life fills the riverbed including, mudskippers, crabs, mud lobsters, snails and clams amongst many others. Towards the end of the river, the guide will also share the different uses of the plants found in the mangrove such as weaving of hats or building of roofs.

We were extremely lucky today and saw many snakes and also many monkeys.Les mer
