Victoria Hotel Singapore

Our body clock was slowly coming to terms. Got up at 08:00 and we were ready by 10:30 to leave home. We were going to Bugis to visit the temples of Kuan Im (Goddess of Mercy).It is believed that visiting this temple and offering prayers brings one good luck.

We reached the temple after walking through Bugis Street which reminded me of Hon...

Hi again everyone, so its been a while and there is a lot to tell again... This is our SE Asia leg so far..
We landed in Singapore from Mumbai, what a flight, our plane was so brand spanking new despite being in cattle class it felt like 1st class it truly was so much fun that we forgot to sleep and so arrived into Singapore absolutel...

We were up at 0530 as usual, but this time it was necessary as we had lots to do before we disembarked. We ran up for our last on board meal & I had my usual Eggs Benedict & Jack had his usual fried eggs (I won't be getting that every day at home). Once we were done we headed back to the cabin to pack up the last minutes things as also w...

. The wife has been nagging me to write down something about Singapore, but I just haven't had the urge. Sure, it is nice to have something to look back on a year or two later and refresh our memories about the trip, and I know that we have some family and friends that like to keep track of our trips as well. But Singapore has proven to be diffi...

Well, I've found one common thread besides scam artist taxicab drivers that transcends all nationalities...people who pack their **** in a flimsy plastic trash bag fully expecting their precious cargo to survive a journey by air. Now if that trash bag wouldn't make it to the average suburban curb before self-destructing, how in the world is it g...

So I met up with lovely Kavita during the day (whom I met at my best friend Preshilla's wedding last year in South Africa).  We watched the F1 cars practice round the track, and I attempted to take pictures but even my new snazzy camera couldnt capture the speedy cars!  

Dinner was with Nitya and her parents, we had some amazing sea food ...

I left the guesthouse at 10am and by 10.30 I had swapped high rise glass towers for low rise swaying palm trees, concrete pavements for powder soft sand. Not only was it a Sunday but is was also a national holiday, needless to say it was busy.

Under the shade of the palms sat whole clans of Singaporeans. Mothers dressed in the traditional...

After our last blog, we were spending our last night in Koh Chang, Thailand and were leaving early the next day. Some of you will know about the little "incident" that night that resulted in 2 visits to separate hospitals, the police being called and an insurance claim..... not bad for a couple of hours work! The story goes..... Sitting in a bar...

After a short visit in Melacca we were headed to Singapore. Partially to see the city, but mainly to meet Jay, an old friend from home. Like when Steph met us in Delhi we asked Jay to be a guest blogger for this little travel blog of ours. Always something to say, he of course agreed. The following entry was written by Jay and we take no respons...
