Flower Dome And Marina Bay, Singapore

We continued walking our way by the Gardens By The Bay, skipping past some paths. It was almost evening then, the air was more cooling.... and along the pathway, this is a common sight....
  
 The scenery is beautiful especially the reflections by the lake...
We couldn't help not taking a family picture before we left... 
and continued our walk to the Flower Dome...
The lanterns are decorated in conjunction to the Mid-Autumn Festival.... 
Much were seen but not taken by my camera....
(I was sort of puffing then... LOL...)

To my surprise, there are some drinking utilities for one to quench the thirst... very good idea, at least the water is free and Singapore water is safe to drink....
What do you see here??? 
SILVER GIANT ANTS!!  aaahhhhhh.....
Fascinating!
Soon we reached the souvenir shop... 
We didn't enter the Flower Dome... that comes with an entrance fee
Since we are not nature lovers, we skipped that...
and off we walked towards the mall... outside only...
over here, we take 5.... (rest my weary legs)
Then we continued walking... another beautiful design....
Spiral-walkway... 
when one jumps, the vibrations can be felt beneath our feet...
Soon we reached the MRT station....
Again I rested my tired bones...
But not for long....
We did not take the MRT back to the hotel...
Instead we continued walking since Aaron said it was not too far...
er.... not too far means another half hour walk!
OK, no problem....
When I think of FOOD awaiting for us, 
surely the walking is NOT a problem anymore!
LOL...

    Good to know that they are providing free drinking water to tourists. I guess i am not visiting SG too soon, at least have to wait until the gap between RM and SGD becomes smaller :p

    If it is not too hot, then it should be nice to walk. So you got a lot of exercise during your vacation in Singapore. Very good.

    Another nice place to visit. Bet lots of calories burnt off that day. Good exercise though. Andy is the tallest among all.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
