    Time travel

    26 november 2015, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    So this is a strange post as we left London at 9am and arrived in Singapore at 6am the next day - plane was about 12 hours. It was probably the emptiest I've seen a flight - a row of 3 seats per one passenger. It was fairly good really. We arrived pretty tired with the task of staying awake all day. We got a taxi to Oasia Novena (S$21) and dropped our bags off. We got some coffee then got the train to Bugis for the Nike Basketball store for B and Sephora for me. We had to wait a few hours till it opened which was challenging! Shoes were acquired, nothing took my fancy though. Next we had lunch at a favorite place that has chicken and rice with cheese. I wasn't feeling well - tummy is bit off. Then we came back and hoped our room would be ready...success! It's great! We chilled out for a bit then headed to the pool before being washed out by a thunder storm. We've both had sleepy moments today with the other waking us up. B is snoring now (5.15pm) better wake him before we get dinner and really hit the hay. It feels great to be back in Singapore - a place we both like very muchLäs mer

    Universal Studios Singapore

    27 november 2015, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Today we got up at 7am and got ready for a day at Universal Studios! We weren't sure if we were going to go or not early in the holiday but we decided we wanted to go - good decision! We got the MRT to Harbourfront and got breakfast - 2 slices of Kaya toast and iced kopi c (coffee) for me and 3 bbq chicken bao (steamed bun) and iced kopi c for B (S$8). We then got the monorail to Sentosa Island. We found Universal and bought tickets. We didn't hold back here as we've been pretty good money wise so far and haven't really bought any extra things. So we got 2 day passes and 2 express passes which allow you in a super short queue for most attractions. This was so worth it - especially later in the day when line times were getting up to 45 minutes in 30 degree heat in sticky Singapore. We went on all the rides at least twice. Our favorite was the Mummy Ride (which we may have gone on 5 times). The rides were all really good and really well themed unlike what we get on the Gold Coast. For lunch we popped out to Chilis for chicken salad and chicken pieces for B. Both good. We then continued with the rides until we called it a day at around 5.15pm. We then checked out the beach area of Sentosa before making it back to the hotel. For dinner we had chicken rice from the kopitiam (food court). Yum! We were naughty for dessert - I got good chocolate tart and B got a brownie. Sorry for the lack of photos...we decided to go phone less today to make our day easier.Läs mer

    Lazy day

    28 november 2015, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Today we slept in after a late night then relaxed a bit before going out for lunch - dim sum! We had 4 dishes - steamed flour roll with bbq chicken, prawn dumplings, fried sweet and sour wontons and duck spring rolls. We also got an iced tea each and the total was S$45. We then went and bought our favorite Singapore spread - kaya then went back to the room and went to the pool for few hours. Then we got ready to go out - we had a drink at Raffles (Singapore sling for B, Moscow Mule for me, we shared some chips and of course peanuts. It's expensive there - S$80). Then we went to Loof for a few hours and had 1 large cider, 2 asahi, 3 cocktails and 2 food plates to share (S$144). We loved it there - great atmosphere. We then came back and jumped in the pool for a bit then the spa. Great day with the best travel buddy one could ask for.Läs mer

    Shopping and swimming

    29 november 2015, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Today we had breakfast (S$6 for 2 lots of kaya toast and 2 iced coffees) then headed to the Bugis Street markets to have a look around. We then headed to the Bugis Junction shopping centre - I picked up a few small things. B wanted to look in the huge book shop at Takashimaya at Orchard Road so on the MRT we hopped. We wanted to have lunch there but couldn't find a table so went to a food republic food court close by. Noodle and wonton soup for both of us...including a calamansi juice (like a lime) was less than S$10. Will miss the food prices in Singapore! We then came back to the hotel for a pool afternoon. Very relaxing. Dinner was Japanese, we had around 8 small dishes and two drinks for S$50. We stopped at Baskin and Robbins for ice cream - S$4 for a small scoop. We then headed back for our last night in Singapore. We leave late tomorrow night so still have a little time to enjoy!Läs mer

    Last day away

    1 december 2015, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    We had a late breakfast of kaya toast, chicken bao and iced Kopi c (S$10 for two of us) then packed up and sat by the pool for a little while. Getting too hot we decided to go to the airport early where we shopped and read before our flight. The flight home wasn't too bad - it was full though and I was happy we booked two seats on the side together. We arrived about 30 minutes early and immigration and customs, though busy, didn't take us too long. Wow what a holiday! Thanks to those who've read along. Now I don't need to tell you what we did! I've got a few more days before I become the on duty pharmacist again...hopefully the next holiday won't be too far away.Läs mer
