Sunday morning, we were up early having planned with Mary to do the Sentosa Island cable car before boarding the ship. Marg and I went to a beaut little bakery (Vietnamese?) just behind the Lavender MRT Station. We had sampled lots of their fine food over the past two days. Then, into a cab from the hotel to the starting point for the journey, likely to take about an hour return. We struck a good taxi driver again who pointed out many historical buildings as we wound our way across the central area of Singapore. Once again, $9.00 was a cheap fare for the three of us. Once onto the cable car, we had great views of Singapore Harbour, hundreds of freight ships at anchor, interesting buildings, and as expected our first look at the Pacific ... read more

Early afternoon we met up with Mary and David in the hotel foyer, and planned a trip to the Gardens by the Bay for the afternoon and evening. This would introduce us to the MRT system in Singapore which is both quite cheap and very frequent and useful. Getting on at Lavender Station, we were amazed at the politeness of the locals - 4 seniors get on and immediately 4 seats were vacated for us. After a quick change of trains, we were soon at the Bayside and, walking through a rather long concourse, arrived outside the gardens. One thing we notice is that there are no seats for the public in the stations or on concourses between services. So the locals sit on the floors. Seniors can get down should they choose. However, based on ... read more

SINGAPUR Na treti pokus (3prestupy) sa mi podarilo dostat i do tohto statu. Najskor som chcel vyuzit free tour ale casu som mal kopec, tak som to dal na vlastnu past a bolo dobre i ked som bol len v garden bay. Velmi fajn miesto na relax, nocna sou bola krasna, i ked nemuseli tak rychlo striedat pesnicky. Krasny bol aj pohlad na behajuce sikmacky po nabrezi. Skoda, ze som nestihol jedlo v la pa sat food court ale i v bayfront obchodaku bolo ok Hotovost som tu vobec nepotreboval, zbytocne som vyberal peniaze. Vsetko sa dalo platit kartou. Pri letisku je dalsi uchvatny architektonicky skvost jewel.Letisko samotne je kapitola o seba. Free kino, rozne oddychove zony. Clovek by tu mohol vklude stravit 24hod. Co ma mrzi,opat sa mi z tohto statu nepodarili poslat pohladnice. Hadam ... read more

Singapore is a beautiful mix of the old and the new; of the sensible and the absurd. However, this gorgeous travel destination definitely isn’t the easiest on the pockets. This tiny nation of modern luxuries can cost you the highest than the rest of its Southeast Asian counterparts. Despite its dollar-stretching reputation, Singapore continues to be one of the most visited countries in Asia. With its world-class attractions, rich culture and diversity, and accessibility with direct flights to its surrounding regions, one can’t resist its urban allure. Traveling Solo to Singapore Visiting Singapore wasn’t part of my 2019 go-to places. I didn’t even have that list to begin with! However, an opportunity to travel to Malaysia came in and I wasn’t one to let it pass by. Since Singapore is just an hour away from Kuala ... read more
