Majestic Princess Cruise

First stop on our journey was Brisbane to Singapore. We left Brisbane in the pouring rain, but arrived in Singapore in very fine weather. The trip was uneventful and very smooth. Arriving at Singapore airport was an eye opener. The airport was vast! Huge open areas and many carousels for the incoming plane loads of people.

We departed the airport via an MRT train to Tiong Bahru which was to take 40 minutes. The train ride was an eye opener, with the carriage packed to capacity. Absolutely no room, with people jammed in. No seating, standing room only. Surprisingly the ticket cost $2.50 and can be used three times on buses and trains.

Leaving the train we were to walk about ten minutes to our hotel. Bob chose the Nostalgia Hotel, a small boutique hotel, with a small outside eating/drinking area next to a main road. Funnily enough the road noise is minimal, and the atmosphere is worth it. People staying in the hotel can sit outside and enjoy fresh air, breakfast and all day dining.

After a long day, finally got to bed at around 11:30 pm.Les mer
