Singapore – zoo tour


Today we went to the Singapore zoo. Mandy told me that it was one of the first zoos ever they gave the animals almost their natural environment for living. The visit was included in our Singapore Pass .

zoo entrance

you can see several areas they are grouped either by the family of animals, for example, reptiles, or by the region in the world where they live for example, Australia.

Australasia 
White Rhino
Reptiles- a Komodo Dragon

The zoo is a little hard to reach you have to take the MRT for two lines and then a shuttle bus but at the end it’s definitely worth to go there. we spent almost 4 hours of relaxation, we had some food and of course you can learn even about nature

For dinner, we went to Chinatown. Our goal for this Singapore trip was finally to have chili crab, one of the most popular dishes in Singapore. Long story short we went into an authentic restaurant . We ordered chili crab just one to share it between us and well yeah, our conclusion is we do not need that again.

the beginning …
the end …

In Little India still the light show for Deepravali festival is on. Fantastic colorful sceneries….

happy Deepravali

Singapore- lazy day

Nothing on the list so let’s do poolside business 

yet another big white whale

And rewarded ourselves with an additional hour of napping 

OMG. Time to move since we scheduled an appointment with Daphne and Bernice. Got some Indian street food right around the corner

food heaven for 5,50€

After a nice walk along the river with some Singapore insights we have been surprised by a heavy rainfall. Jumped into a taxi and tried to reach the Art and Science museum opposite of MBS. (Marina Bay Sands) but due to the traffic we decided to go for dinner at Maxwell hawker center. wise decision and we had shared food around 7pm

Carrot Cake is missing on the picture…

Since I was thinking about the singing fountain show Daphne guided us through the CBD (Central Business District) to reach MBS area on time. While doing a fast walk we had still time for pictures

Impressive show. Very well done Singapore. And now time to go back to the hotel. My shoes were wet since hours from rain. You know the sound of squeezing shoes, do you? Not comfortable at all. That’s why a taxi brought us back. Again 14 km on my watch…

Bangkok- Impressions

Start the day with an awesome breakfast at Hilton Millennium, riverside.

even it’s hot we enjoyed the view

and it’s very hard to make a decision what to have for breakfast…

always welcome. egg Benedict

Taxi picks us up at 1pm. Flight is scheduled 4:40 pm, plenty of time. ETA at Singapore Changi is 8:40 pm. Stay at Hilton Garden Inn Seragoon which is in Little India. Looking forward to Singapore. Again without a flu … 🤒

Singapore, Singapore

The city welcomed me with an epic cold. The airbnb was great , having an own shower and a shared swimming pool is definitely a plus in a city like Singapore, especially if you pay 50€ per night. And if you are used to public transportation in big asian cities… no need to stay in the center with it’s fancy nancy hotels.

First evening was ok, we met with my coworkers from our Singapore office for lunch in a hawker center and later on for a walk and dinner at Marina Bay area.

At this evening I knew I will be sick really soon and it happened. the next 48 hours I stayed in my bed, took painkillers and slept 20 hours a day. Fever , cough, cold. I feel so bad for mandy . We had so many things on the list and we didn’t realize even 20% of them. Anyway we will return and start the Singapore business again.
