Singapore Attractions




We really enjoyed Singapore.

I have never been to somewhere so green and lush with plant life, especially in the city. Nothing prepares you for the humidity. Every day was pool day though. We stayed at great hotel, Furama Riverfront Hotel with a lagoon pool (a lot of pools in Singapore seem to be lap ones in comparison) and was open until 11pm which gave us some flexibility. It was very warm even at night!

One piece of advice must stress is wherever you go in Singapore, see ‘must see’ outdoor activities first. The rain and lightning can last for hours and places shut down until it passes. Plan to see the Supertree night show early on in your trip so you don’t miss this ‘must see’ due to the weather misbehaving.

12 Tips for visiting the Bamboo Forest, Kyoto, Japan

Image
The Bamboo Forest in Kyoto This week I wish to share with you our trip to the Bamboo Forest, Kyoto. This place was on my bucket list and I was so happy to visit here. We visited in April, on a Monday, in the middle of Cherry Blossom season. It was already very busy by 10am.  However, there were areas of the Bamboo Forest which were very tranquil and serene in spite of being one of the busiest places in Japan that we visited. The further you walked into the bamboo forest the less crowds there were. The sounds of the tops of the bamboo colliding was very relaxing and it was a very calming place to visit. The air smelt ‘fresh’. All you could hear were the birds, the rustling leaves and the crashing of the tops of the bamboo. We were so glad we visited. It was also close to some other attractions in Arashiyama so it was a great place to make a day of it. Here are my 5 tips to get the most out of your visit to the Bamboo Grove: 1. How to get t...

8 Reasons why you should visit Minoo Park

Image
Minoo Park Waterfall We had a spare day to fill in Osaka, and we decided to spend it at Minoo Park after some recommendations from Facebook groups. Minoo Park is also known as Minooh and Minoh Park. I have no idea why this place has so many ‘other names’. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Minoo Park from central Osaka. The station you are looking for is Minoo Station on the Hyperdia.com website for navigating how to get there. We had a lovely day visiting this park. The weather was fine and there was a lot of greenery with lots of ‘tunnels of green’ to walk through. The 3 km hike to a waterfall is not onerous as it is very flat to walk (and so is also ideal for prams). The scenery was beautiful with lots of vermillion red bridges and old bridges. Combined with an insect museum, a free foot onsen (foot spa) and yummy maple leaf snack (unique to the area) – you really can’t go wrong visiting this wonderful gem of a place. Tunnels of Green Here are my re...

20 Need to Know tips for Magic Kingdom

Image
This week I review Magic Kingdom (MK) at Walt Disney World, Orlando. I review the rides, good places to eat and things to do. We are a family of three, with a 10 year old and we travelled to Magic Kingdom in April 2018. MK is actually on the second floor of the park. The first floor is filled with tunnels known as 'Utilidors'. In these Utilidors, deliveries are made, cast members access attractions and garbage is removed . 1. Disney World Railroad - A lap around the park via the train takes 20 minutes. Walking is the fastest means of transport in MK. The shortest lines for this train are at Main Street. It doesn’t take you through a Dinosaur cave though like in Anaheim and Tokyo Disneylands. It just does a loop around the park which shows a different perspective of the park. At busy times there’s a train every four minutes. It shuts down during a parade though, so don’t line up then. Disney World Railroad 2. Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover...

Tokyo Disneyland - A family review

The Winnie the Pooh ride ©Troid family This week we have a Guest review from the Troid family who visited Tokyo Disneyland for the first time in January 2018. The Troid family are a Family of 5 (Mum + Dad + two kids 5 & 13 + Grand Mum (67)) from Australia. This is their review of their time in Tokyo Disneyland and a few other things they did in Japan too! Where did you stay in Tokyo? Can you recommend? Hotel name..Pools? Busy? Facilities? Food options? We stayed in a one bed room apartment with 3 beds+1 bathroom + small kitchen. I got this room through Airbnb and it was quite spacious in a quiet neighbourhood area. It is close to Nishishinjuku gochome station and Hatsudai station. Basically, the owner   prepared everything on earth you could possibly need- Shampoo, Conditioner, Bath gel, hair cap for showering, Slippers, batteries, basic kitchen utensils, microwave, Laundry machine and laundry powder –   just like home. Also very convenient was that...

10 Tips for Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan

Image
Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan I find Aquariums quite relaxing and the fish displays are quite colourful and mesmerising. When I found out that Osaka had one of the biggest Aquariums in the world we had to visit it on our trip to Japan! We have seen other Aquariums in the world* so I can easily make a comparison in how great this aquarium actually is. We visited Osaka Aquarium in mid April 2019.  Osaka Aquarium was a great family day out with a large shopping mall conveniently found next door. The above ground eight storey building was indeed impressive (unlike any others I’ve seen) and the aquarium housed many marine animals I had never seen in any of the other world aquariums.  You start your journey with an escalator ride to the top of the 8 th floor and work your way in a downwards spiral through the building. Osaka Aquarium was not as ‘pretty’ as the SEA Aquarium Singapore but it certainly was impressive. Educationally, there was information about each o...

The Beginners guide to Disney's Animal Kingdom

Image
  People used to say that Animal Kingdom (AK) was a ‘half day park. However, with the opening of Pandora in 2017, this park now has longer opening hours. There are 1700 live animals and approximately 250 different animal species. There are 3000 different species of plants. This park is really a giant zoo – with a few fun filled themed areas thrown in- including the amazing world of Pandora. The entrance to Animal Kingdom These signs were everywhere around this park AK is technically the largest of all the Disney Parks and this is because of the animal enclosures. Disney is generous with the space it gives its animals. Each animal has 1 acre of space each, so 12 animals are on 12 acres. The walkable part of the park is narrowed down to a few areas. Which does create a few bottlenecks of people at times. Head first to Africa and ride Kilimanjaro Safaris. Then cross to Asia and ride Expedition Everest. The Maharajah Jungle Trek - Major ...
