Singapore 2018. Day 13: A walk on the wild side ........

Up early today for another Paratha breakfast before heading off to Singapore Zoo. We don’t really do zoos but this Zoo is a really good one. We enjoyed watching the Proboscis monkeys as you don’t really get to see them often, we were lucky enough to see them in the wild in Borneo and they really are the cutest and most comical looking of the primates. The orangutang area was another fantastic area. The trees were so large and high, the young ones were right at the top swinging about.







We finished here late afternoon, then returned to the hotel to get ready and take advantage of the cocktails in the Lounge. We then went to the Kampong area for a meal. We ended up at a Lebanese restaurant really close to the sultans Mosque. It was a really nice area all lit up and lively at night. The meal was delicious and the decor was fantastic. We stayed a good few hours till we couldn’t feel our legs as we were sitting on the floor




 

We had a really good last night and even the heavy downpour as we were walking back couldn’t ruin it. We had a very late night drinking cocktails in the bar area listening to the live music.




So a very last drunken goodnight from this amazing place SINGAPORE 😜😍😍😍😍😍😍

Singapore 2018. Day 1: The relaxation begins ....

After enjoying a wonderful family vacation to Disney World and moving into a new house last year, my family and I had planned to spend this year renovating our new home. However, after a tough year, we decided that a holiday was much needed. The only problem was deciding on a destination. We were looking for a budget-friendly option in Europe, but nothing seemed to fit the bill. We wanted a cheap week away in Europe, but as you know nothing goes to plan in the Duff household 😂 We wanted somewhere to just chill. But Asia was calling us back again ...... Singapore seemed like a perfect choice. It's a small country that doesn't require a lot of traveling, and it's perfect for relaxation. We have fond memories of visiting Singapore a decade ago, and we're excited to take our time and enjoy the fantastic weather and food.                                       Perfect !! So today has arrived a...

Singapore 2018. Day 11: Art trail to retail.........

Image
We were typical Brits abroad this morning, a full English😱.The lounge is stunning so we took a little time to enjoy it. Reading of course. I just love the decor, it feels like it could be home to me. We visited the National gallery of Singapore today. We love art and we love Asia so it seemed like a perfect choice. The gallery was originally the city hall and the Supreme Court. It has now been restored and updated into a stunning gallery,  the new meets old. Not only was the building impressive the art was captivating too. There were numerous galleries displaying some amazing Asian art. Some of the water colours by Lim Chang Hoe would look lovely on our walls. His art was very interesting to us as he returned after a number of years to each place that he had painted and repainted them. This not only showed us how his work began to change with new techniques but also how Singapore had changed over the years. This was also our experience seeing Singapore after returning after 1...

Taiwan 2014 Day 2: A day in Taipei

Image
Let me tell you about our adventure-filled day in Taipei! It started with trying to find a place to have breakfast. Taipei is full of quirky cafes but it seemed like they were all hiding from us. After a while, we finally stumbled upon a charming little cafe and got ourselves fueled up for the day ahead.                                                                                      Our first stop was the stunning Lin family mansion and gardens. It was hard to believe that such a tranquil place existed in the heart of this bustling city. The mansion and gardens were built by the Lin Ben Yuan family in the Qing Dynasty, who made their fortune in the rice-growing industry. The gardens were breathtaking, and we spent a few hours exploring them and learning about their rich ...
