Hotels in Singapore - Prices and Reviews

We again had a sleep in and then had breakfast at the hotel. We had been informed the day before that the usual breakfast rooms would be unavailable and that for today we had to go to a restaurant on the 70th floor for breakfast.

After eating we took some pictures of Marina Bay, Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Fort Canning Park from the restau...

Two weekends ago, Steve and I decided to have a look around East Coast. We rented a bicycle built for two...first for both of us. Those things look easy and fun but trust me, you need someone who can control the weight b/c those front handles are tricky. I nearly took at a family! It was SUPER hot but a fun place to visit. There's the Seafood Ce...

Both flights and our connection through Tokyo went smoothly and we arrived in Singapore right on time, something of a rarity for us. Singapore is like Asia 101. It's very modern, easy to get around, and English is used as the medium of education and is a primary language outside the home.

While in Singapore we were lucky enough to spend t...

Hello friends! We have had a lovely day in Singapore on our 9 hour layover. Singapore is by far the cleanest place I have ever been in my life. What a drastic change from India!! We are about to take off for our Bali adventures. Definitely super excited to get to paradise. :) Sorry there were no pictures in the India blog. We have a ton of wonde...

Love this airport. Bri and I are officially pathetic. We had to go through customs and immigration to pick up our bags and re-check in. I have an entry and departure stamp in my passport for a 4 hour stay.... luckily we are spending the night on the way back. Wandered around the airport - saw the pool, the bamboo garden, the cactus garden and th...

French version at the bottom Hi everyone Holidays have now truly started ! We spent a transition day in Darwin (grumpy grumpy : reservation lost, price inflation at 2.30 in the morning, no choice but to comply or sleep in the streeet, noisy dorms), followed by 2 (way too short) days in Singapore to catch-up with Romain, Albane and their daughter...

Dear Family and friends, Firstly I would like to put paid to a number of rumours presently circulating. Number one, to the best of my knowledge, through neither word nor deed did I have anything to do with the minor revolution taking place in Manila.....I think. Secondly, I did not attempt to ruin international relations with China by flipping t...

The idea of Singapore as a sterile utopia is a myth. Sure for a modern city of its size its clean and ultra-efficient, but everyone seems to "jaywalk" despite its apparent penalties and walking around Clarke Quay before the city finally wakes up around 10.30ish the area was strewn with litter! Ditch the image of heavenly cleanliness and instead ...

And so to Singapore, runner up in the "Sweatiest City" International awards. This time of year, after the worst of the wet season, is actually very pleasant, until midday when it's advisable to pop into an air-conditioned mall and pretend to be able to afford things. Since the airport upgrade I have been into shopping mode, having flitted around...

It's now my 4th day in Singapore and I have a poorly head. Went out last night to a restaurant on the 70th floor of the swiss hotel which is next door to Raffles. I had a really nice meal there and a very blue cocktail which is class, Jo B style!! After that I went to Raffles for the obligatory singapore sling which was very tasty (and at the pr...
